The Bedwetter: Stories of Courage, Redemption, and Pee by Sarah Silverman

3.0

I like Sarah Silverman as a comedian. I think her engagement in the political arena in recent years has been really interesting and it has been particularly fascinating to watch her grow and change as she enters deeper into that particular arena. I think I read this book too late. It was published in 2009 and I am not sure that she would have written it in quite the same way had it been published in 2020. It was interesting to read about her take on comedy that is sometimes deemed politically incorrect and I agree with some of what she says, but there are areas which come across as a little tone deaf. At times she talks about really deep and to me, interesting things, but just as she's beginning to explore them, you get a fart joke and suddenly it's all stand up routines and surface stuff and that was tricky to navigate. It felt uneven in tone and that actually there were two books in there but only enough word count for one.
