Ten Steps to Nanette

A Memoir Situation

En savoir plus sur le livre

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Multi-award-winning Hannah Gadsby broke comedy with their show Nanette. In this powerful exploration of their life, Gadsby emphasizes the importance of truth-telling, regardless of the consequences. “Hannah is a Promethean force, a revolutionary talent. This hilarious, touching, and sometimes tragic book is all about where their fires were lit,” says Emma Thompson. Recognized as one of the best books of the year by PopSugar and Vulture, Gadsby reflects on their journey from a sheltered childhood in Tasmania, where homosexuality was illegal until 1997, to a life of isolation marked by homophobic and sexual violence. After moving to mainland Australia and earning a degree in art history, Gadsby found themselves lost and without a future until a friend's encouragement led them to a stand-up competition at age twenty-seven, marking the start of their comedy career. Initially known for self-deprecating humor, Gadsby began to challenge this approach during the 2015 same-sex marriage debates in Australia. Ten Steps to Nanette chronicles their evolution as a queer individual and their complex relationship with comedy, culminating in a rejection of self-deprecation and a commitment to truth-telling, which became central to Nanette.
