I'm Just a Person: My Year of Death, Cancer and Epiphany
by Tig Notaro
I absolutely love Tig. I’ve seen her in person and she puts on an amazing show. It seems intimate, unique and funny. So my expectations may have been off, because this book was a let down.
I know quite a bit of her story through other outlets so this book was not a great listen for me. Tig narrated the book which I thought would be great, but her typical
monotone voice was so flat that it was hard to feel much even though so much of her story is wrought with pain, emotion and humor. I mean the title was I’m just a person, so maybe that’s her point; I’m not just a comedian - all fun and laughs.
I did laugh out loud multiple times so it wasn’t all serious and dull. My favorite scene was when she spoke to her mother’s picture. If I was drinking I would have spit my drink out; it was so Tig’s typical dry one liners.
I love Tig and it pains me not to rave about any of her work.
