Ten Steps to Nanette: A Memoir Situation
by Hannah Gadsby
Enjoyable ★
Well narrrated ★
Great plot ★
Gripping tension ★
Big emotions ★
Loved this so hard. I’m pretty easy with giving 5 stars, if I have enjoyed the reading process, then 5 stars. This time I feel I need to give 6 stars. Hannah Gadsby is just an amazing superstar.
Even though I’m an Aussie, it took me a little bit to adjust to listening to an Australian accent. I mostly only listen to American Audiobooks. But soon enough I adjusted and I found myself unconsciously talking like her. They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
This book is part memoir and part talking about the making of her Netflix comedy special Nanette. I loved hearing more details about the personal stories shared in her special. I also loved hearing about her process of writing it and what happened after and how she handled it all.
It was really interesting to hear a memoir from someone only 3 years older than me, and from my own country. So many things were relatable.
I strongly connected to her regarding trauma, mental illness and neurodivergence. It was fascinating hearing someone talk about the interplay of all three. She educated me and helped me to understand the struggles behind sexuality and gender identity issues and homophobia.
I have rewatched both her Netflix specials and this book has given me some new found depth and understanding as to why her approach was so groundbreaking and important.
I’ll continue to consume any and all content she publishes. Highly recommend.
