Publisher Description
Spirited and whip-smart, these laugh-out-loud autobiographical essays are "a masterpiece" from the Emmy Award-winning actress and comedy writer known for 30 Rock, Mean Girls, and SNL" (Sunday Telegraph).
Before Liz Lemon, before "Weekend Update," before "Sarah Palin," Tina Fey was just a young girl with a dream: a recurring stress dream that she was being chased through a local airport by her middle-school gym teacher. She also had a dream that one day she would be a comedian on TV.
She has seen both these dreams come true.
At last, Tina Fey's story can be told. From her youthful days as a vicious nerd to her tour of duty on Saturday Night Live; from her passionately halfhearted pursuit of physical beauty to her life as a mother eating things off the floor; from her one-sided college romance to her nearly fatal honeymoon -- from the beginning of this paragraph to this final sentence.
Tina Fey reveals all, and proves what we've always suspected: you're no one until someone calls you bossy.
Includes Special, Never-Before-Solicited Opinions on Breastfeeding, Princesses, Photoshop, the Electoral Process, and Italian Rum Cake!
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
It’s hard not to hear Liz Lemon when you listen to Bossypants, although Tina Fey is smarter and more self-aware than her most famous character. Hearing Fey narrate her memoir of deeply personal stories about her experiences as a woman, comedian, and parent makes clear why she’s one of the most fearless voices in comedy. Thanks to her conversational flair and zippy timing, anecdotes like a random knife attack that left her with a permanent facial scar become unforgettable. We’re dying for a sequel.
Customer Reviews
Hilarious and Inspirational in an Unconventional Way
I’ve listened to this audiobook at least five times. I love that Tina narrates it herself! I first read the book in my teens, and as an adult it’s my road trip go to.
