À propos de cet audio
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Multi-award-winning Hannah Gadsby broke comedy with their show Nanette. In this “enthralling” (The Washington Post) memoir, they take us through the defining moments in their life and their powerful decision to tell the truth—no matter the cost.

“Hannah is a Promethean force, a revolutionary talent. This hilarious, touching, and sometimes tragic book is all about where their fires were lit.”—Emma Thompson
A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: PopSugar, Vulture
“There is nothing stronger than a broken woman who has rebuilt herself,” Hannah Gadsby declared in their show Nanette, a scorching critique of the way society conducts public debates about marginalized communities.
Gadsby grew up as the youngest of five children in Tasmania, where homosexuality was illegal until 1997. After moving to mainland Australia and receiving a degree in art history, they found themselves adrift, working itinerant jobs and enduring years of isolation punctuated by homophobic and sexual violence. When Gadsby was twenty-seven, a friend encouraged them to enter a stand-up competition. They won, and so began their career in comedy.
Gadsby became well known for their self-disparaging humor, but in 2015, as Australia debated the legality of same-sex marriage, they started to question this mode of storytelling, beginning to work on a show that would transform their career and would become “the most-talked-about, written-about, shared-about comedy act in years” (The New York Times).
Harrowing and hilarious, Ten Steps to Nanette traces Gadsby’s growth as a queer person, their ever-evolving relationship with comedy, and their struggle with late-in-life diagnoses of autism and ADHD, finally arriving at the backbone of Nanette: the renouncement of self-deprecation, the rejection of misogyny, and the moral significance of truth-telling.

In the span of four months in 2012, Tig Notaro was hospitalized for a debilitating intestinal disease called C. diff, her mother unexpectedly died, she went through a breakup, and then she was diagnosed with bilateral breast cancer. Hit with this devastating barrage, Tig took her grief onstage. Days after receiving her cancer diagnosis, she broke new comedic ground, opening an unvarnished set with the words, "Good evening. Hello. I have cancer. How are you? Hi, how are you? Is everybody having a good time? I have cancer."

Brandi Carlile was born into a musically gifted, impoverished family on the outskirts of Seattle and grew up in a constant state of change, moving from house to house, trailer to trailer, 14 times in as many years. Though imperfect in every way, her dysfunctional childhood was as beautiful as it was strange, and as nurturing as it was difficult. At the age of five, Brandi contracted bacterial meningitis, which almost took her life, leaving an indelible mark on her formative years and altering her journey into young adulthood.

The tellers of Greek myths—historically men—have routinely sidelined the female characters. When they do take a larger role, women are often portrayed as monstrous, vengeful or just plain evil—like Pandora, the woman of eternal scorn and damnation whose curiosity is tasked with causing all the world’s suffering and wickedness when she opened that forbidden box. But, as Natalie Haynes reveals, in ancient Greek myths there was no box. It was a jar . . . which is far more likely to tip over.

In Unmasking Autism, Dr. Devon Price shares their personal experience with masking and blends history, social science research, prescriptions, and personal profiles to tell a story of neurodivergence that has thus far been dominated by those on the outside looking in. For Dr. Price and many others, Autism is a deep source of uniqueness and beauty. Unfortunately, living in a neurotypical world means it can also be a source of incredible alienation and pain.

For more than 25 years, David Sedaris has been carving out a unique literary space, virtually creating his own genre. A Sedaris story may seem confessional, but is also highly attuned to the world outside. It opens our eyes to what is at absurd and moving about our daily existence. And it is almost impossible to listen without laughing.

Blending historical analysis with sharp cultural criticism, trans historian and activist Kit Heyam offers a new, radically inclusive trans history, chronicling expressions of trans experience that are often overlooked, like gender-nonconforming fashion and wartime stage performance. Heyam looks to the past to uncover new horizons for possible trans futures.

Ce que les critiques en disent
“For fans of Gadsby, [their] delivery on the page will delight just as it does on screen. [They] remain honest, with stories that draw laughter over situations that are always based in truth—harsh or otherwise.”—Time
“A joyful read . . . Gadsby’s voice is intimate and close, and spending time with it is a lot like listening to a good friend relay a fascinating life story over a couple of pints at the bar.”—Oprah Daily
“Similar to [their] groundbreaking comedy specials Douglas and Nanette, Gadsby’s memoir reads like a conversation with a longtime friend. . . . A can’t-miss memoir that will make readers laugh, cry, and everything in between.”—Library Journal (starred review)

Soared to the top of my favourite Audible books!
I loved this memoir so much that I was actually bereft when it ended. Listening to Hannah tell their story was a joy in itself. There's not much comedy, but they toss in a little gem every so often. Their story is heartbreaking and, also inspiring. What Hannah endured is both deeply unjust and sad, but how they grew along the way is incredibly inspiring. I especially loved what was shared about their ADHD and Autism diagnosis and how they learned to set themselves up for success afterwards.
I absolutely loved the comedy show Nanette. I've watched it many times as I also feel the anger portrayed during that show, and I am grateful they followed up with a book to expand more on what led up to it. If you loved the comedy special, you won't be disappointed. Hannah is an amazing storyteller, and what they are sharing is invaluable in today's growing hostility towards the lgbtqia2s+ community. This was a valuable listen during pride month and will be folded into my memoir recommendations going forward. Thank you for sharing your story, Hannah!

b.r.i.l.l.i.a.n.t
B.r.i.l.l.i.a.n.t memoir. I laughed and cried. I heard it as an audio book and it hit deeply because of Hannah's distinctive and emotive way of speaking. So many deep quotes, I gave up trying to bookmark them. I'll definitely buy a paper copy.
The writing style is unique. She draws parallels between what was happening in her world with what was happening in the US for example at the same time. It encourages the reader to do the same. What was happening in my life, you may find yourself wondering.
At the end of most chapters, there's a hilarious footnote.
It was also moving to know what it took for her to film that transformational special on Netflix. Transformational for her and her worldwide audiences.
An homage to the neurodivergent, the queer, the fat, the non-mainstream gender presenting, the survivors of sexual assault and trauma, to families of those who have these intersecting identities.
I am sad that this book is over. I am so happy that I live and breathe at the same time as Hannah Gadsby.
Easy choice. Highly recommend if you're open to listen to a story that is open and frank about deep seated trauma.
