I listened to this one which I think is the way to go. There was much to like - in fact, stories of her mother were some of the funniest things about her book - but I thought the book was overly long.

I was absolutely blown away by Nanette when I first watched it, and this audiobook adds so much to an already brilliant piece. Gadsby delves into their personal story, their unique journey to understanding themself, their traumas, failings, triumphs and their family. All with the same mix of humour, heart, emotion, and rage that characterized Nanette.

TheKidUpstairs And a handy dose of “Stop - Context Time!“ - historical and societal information about Australia, Tasmania, and the fight for LGBTQIA2S equality. It was an engaging, heartfelt, funny listen to make you think, laugh, cry, and get very very angry. You do not have to have watched Nanette to find value here, but it will probably make you want to watch!

(edited) 10mo
TheKidUpstairs TW - Gadsby states “there is no straight line through trauma“ and that is evident here. The traumas they have experienced are mentioned throughout, and (as trauma often comes in life) without warning. TW for assault, rape, violent and virulent homophobia 10mo

I find Hannah intriguing. Her book was on a list of Oceania options for the library's Winter Challenge (why do I need an enamel pin?). Definitely do the #audiobook. She reads it herself and there are audio clips from her show. I love when there's extra stuff on the audio.

16-20 Nov 23 (audiobook)
A free audiobook for the month which was well worth listening to. Gadsby is very funny at times but is also just very interesting and insightful. Listening to her life, the way she learned and came to terms with her diagnoses, and her descriptions of her family were enlightening for me. Again has me questioning whether we should be seeking an ASD diagnosis for my older daughter.

I only recently discovered Hannah Gadsby‘s stand up on Netflix, and now feel like I need to revisit Nanette with all of this background information. Hannah has been through a lot, and I feel like I‘ve learned a lot from her experiences as a queer person with late diagnoses of ADHD and autism, and as a survivor of sexual assault.

I really wanted to love this memoir because it‘s hard not to feel for the author Hannah Gadsby, but I found this book suffered from TMI. Some chapters were SO RIDICULOUSLY long, filled with such minutiae. I‘m guessing that‘s how Hannah‘s brain is wired but I felt like some editing was desperately needed. I also had the sense Hannah needed to write this memoir more for herself than for anyone else and for that I applaud her.

MrsMalaprop Agree with you about the need to edit. I really appreciated hearing about neurodiversity from her perspective. 2y

Another month with a favorite for both NF and Fiction. I do not remember which Litten or Littens brought Hannah Gadsby to my attention but I‘m so glad they did. Love her comedy specials on Netflix and her “memoir situation”. Love after Love was a @Cinfhen recommendation and soooo good. This is why Litsy is the best place to hang out. I might have missed out on these books and that would have been a shame.

TieDyeDude Love Hannah Gadsby! I haven't read anything from her yet, but her stand-up specials are amazing. 2y

To do: watch Gadsby‘s Netflix specials.

Narrated by Hannah, this “memoir situation” audiobook contains snippets of her life, from growing up in Tasmania all the way to her explosive Netflix special, “Nanette”. Humor? Yes. Serious and emotional? Yes. Essential? Yes. She discusses her experience discovering that she‘s autistic and also her realization that she‘s gay. Highly recommend listening to her delivery of her own story.

“I loved the idea of “multiculturalism,” because it made sense to me. I‘d always struggled to feel as if I belonged, and so I thought that everyone should be made to feel welcome-because by that logic, then I would be welcome too. Who said selfishness can‘t lead to human rights advocacy?”

Audiobook version was read by the author (naturally). It was terrific companion book to her Netflix special “Nanette”. It gives lots of insight into her family, growing up poor in Tasmania, surviving abuse, and growing up feeling like an outsider (she‘s gay with adhd and on the spectrum). I‘m missing her voice already!

I‘m curious how well known Hannah is outside Australia? I thought she was well known here until this memoir was chosen for book club & a few members had never heard of her.

Hannah is unique, clever & I find her perspective fascinating. Our understanding of Autism in girls/women is burgeoning. This book explored ASD, trauma & Tasmania‘s road to decriminalising homosexuality.

Needed an edit here & there, but overall an excellent read.

BarbaraBB I have never heard of her. Will check! 2y

CarolynM She‘s been around the place for a while, but I guess mostly in a fairly niche way. Although she used to be on Rove, I think 🤔. Personally, I liked her best in Please Like Me. I think Nanette got a quite a lot of attention in the US when it was first on Netflix. 2y
MrsMalaprop @CarolynM I liked her in Please Like Me too, where she says Josh Thomas told her to write the part & so she played herself! Saw her live a few years ago & saw Nanette on Netflix. It was The Gordon St Garage that I first saw her on, with Adam Hills. 2y
CarolynM That‘s right, Adam Hills, not Rove. A friend saw Nanette on stage and raved about it. I didn‘t know that about Please Like Me - interesting! I remembered that she was on QI once, so she must be a bit known in the UK. 2y
Bookwomble Her two Netflix specials are available in the UK and (telling you what you already know) they're very good. 2y
MicheleinPhilly I had literally never heard of her until Nanette premiered on Netflix and people started raving about it. I was so profoundly impacted by it - like I‘ve never sobbed during a “comedy” special. I enjoyed Douglas too and will follow whatever she does in the future. 2y

Oof. This was a wildly uncomfortable read. Much like her specials, Hannah very deftly mixes humor and trauma to recount her childhood in Tasmania and experiences as a queer, autistic comedian culminating in the brilliance that is Nanette. This isn‘t your typical “famous, funny person memoir” so proceed carefully. 👍🏼🏳️‍🌈

Centique I watched the show Nanette and I‘ve been recommending it to everyone. Just astounded me how cleverly she subverted the comedy routine to make such an impact. Her intelligence! 🤯 Must read this although I can imagine it will be hard reading. 2y

26/22 It‘s taken a while to write this reviews. I‘m worried I won‘t do it justice. It was raw, courageous, at times funny at others heartbreaking. It deepened my understanding of autism & particularly the experience of ASC girls/women. It gave me greater understanding of my own ASC children. For which I am extremely grateful. It gave me insight into the experience of the Australian LGBTQ community over the last 40 years. It did much more too. 5⭐️

Yes, I own the audiobook + the hard copy. And it was brilliant.

Hannah Gadsby‘s story is not an easy one. It‘s full of trauma. More trauma than really any one person should ever have to endure. But her story is one that needs to be read. It‘s a story full of trauma, which is sadly a reality for far too many people, especially neuro-diverse & LBGTQ+ & women.

I recommend first watching Nanette, then reading Ten Steps. Then go watch Douglas.

I listened to Hannah Gadsby read her own work in the audiobook edition of her memoir. She intersperses her personal story—growing up genderqueer and with autism in Tasmania—with facts about the homophobic laws in her state and evolving social change in Australia. Clips from her blockbuster hit Nanette are included. I laughed. I cried. It‘s outstanding. #LGBTQ

This memoir from Hannah Gadbsy traces the course of her life from growing up in small town Tasmania where homosexuality was illegal until the mid-1990s to her journey toward comedy. She's overcome so much to create this life for herself and it was really remarkable--and heartbreaking-- to read about. I felt it could've been tightened up a bit, but it's a great piece of nonfiction nonetheless. Even inspired me to rewatch Nanette last night.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ First, watch Gadsby‘s Netflix special “Nanette,” then read this “memoir situation” on growing up in Tasmania where it was illegal to be gay until somewhat recently; on being diagnosed with ASD as an adult; on being an art history major and comedian. Her disdain for Picasso is truly refreshing. Gadsby unpacks significant trauma here and I think many folks will identify. A tough, but absolutely fantastic read! Watch “Douglas” after.

AmyG My daughter keeps telling me to watch Nanette. Great review. 3y
