One of America’s most original comedic voices delivers a darkly funny, wryly observed, and emotionally raw account of her year of death, cancer, and epiphany.
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.” The set went viral instantly and was ultimately released as Tig’s sophomore album, Live, which sold one hundred thousand units in just six weeks and was later nominated for a Grammy.
Now, the wildly popular star takes stock of that no good, very bad year—a difficult yet astonishing period in which tragedy turned into absurdity and despair transformed into joy. An inspired combination of the deadpan silliness of her comedy and the open-hearted vulnerability that has emerged in the wake of that dire time, I’m Just a Person is a moving and often hilarious look at this very brave, very funny woman’s journey into the darkness and her thrilling return from it.
为了听这本专门去注册了audible,Tig自己读的audiobook必须要加一星。整本书印象最深的还是Largo那章,听完更觉Live那场真是传奇。之前觉得她实在是太酷,现在依然觉得很酷但是更human了。(最后一章狗粮预警...)

评分audiobook 的 performance 很不错。看过她的纪录片和 stand-up "Live" 的话故事本身大概也都听过:九年级读了三遍,最终辍学;中年时一年之内先是自己得了 c-diff, 然后母亲去世, 和女友分手, 自己又确诊了癌症, 做关于癌症的 set, 做双侧乳房切除手术, 因为癌症 set 得 grammys 提名;后来认识了现在的妻子,找了代孕生小孩。然而书里的讲述非常诚恳,仍然值得一读。
评分想读很久的书。已经差不多知道Tig的故事,但真正听完整的故事还是很heart wrenching. 写Stephanie的部分虽然短,但真是很深情很感人,how precious of what they have。人生中能遇到这样的人,相爱,一起生活,夫复何求?
