Ten Steps to Nanette: A Memoir Situation by Hannah Gadsby

dark emotional funny hopeful reflective medium-paced

4.75

I really liked it. Gadsby is a great storyteller. She has a mastery of it from her comedy. Her humour comes through and made me laugh out loud often. 
I felt it ended
a bit abruptly at the Nanette performance, but I also get that a lot of the focus around the latter part of the book (and the marketing draw of itself, though in the acknowledgements it mentions the book was in the works pre-Nanette) is around Nanette.
 
She conveys her emotion and messiness so well, as well as the reality of mental illness. I also really respect her for setting boundaries as to how much trauma she's going to communicate. It also makes me want to rewatch Nanette.
