Everyone Loved It But Me

Bossypants

Lisa Hedger

 Lisa discusses and analyzes Tina Fey's memoir Bossypants, which she wrote in 2011. It is more like a comedy sketch than a deep-dive memoir. 

The Washington Post describes how this book doesn’t go beyond Fey’s humor. She sticks with her funny Saturday Night Live types of bits. She doesn’t share her life’s challenges. In The Guardian, writer Carole Cadwalladr talks about the fact that Fey doesn’t offer up any details about her life than her fans already know. She points out that there are very few revelations. 

 Books Discussed: 

Bomb Shelter: Love, Time, and Other Explosives by Mary Laura Philpott 

 Finding Me by Viola Davis.
