Bridge Burning and Other Hobbies by Kitty Flanagan
4.0
I love Kitty Flanagan; she has been my favourite comedian for a number of years.
This time last year, I read 488 Rules For Life and loved it, and because I read books by Australians in January, I chose to read this one.
I was not disappointed. Kitty provides us with stories from her own life which are not only very funny, but show just how ‘normal’ she is, and in fact how normal we all are.
For example: I met Kitty Flanagan when I was working at a deli stall in the Adelaide Central Market in 2018 during the Fringe season. A co-worker tapped me on the shoulder and hissed in my ear, ‘Look! It’s Kitty Flanagan!’. I was star-struck and didn’t know what to say. Good thing I wasn’t the one serving her - it would have been one awkward conversation! It relieved me to find out from reading that Kitty suffers the same thing herself. As it was, my boss and other co-workers swamped her and asked her about 1052 questions. Kitty did not look at all comfortable. She wanted some good quality deli items, not the Spanish Inquisition!
I recommend this book to anyone who is familiar with Kitty Flanagan.
One last thing… to the author: Thanks, Kitty. Now I’m craving a Pizza Pete, but I have Coeliac Disease ;D
