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.

The luckiest unlucky person in the world
评分真诚，幽默，大胆，能够拿一切事物开玩笑，即便是在讲述人生中最灰暗最迷惘的日子里，字里行间依然没有丢失那份幽默。
评分刚开始喜欢听tig的单口相声只是因为能跟上她的语速，她的诚实与诚恳让我得以了解她更多。这本书里讲了更多她与妈妈、癌症、继父的细节，即使你看过她的stand up或纪录片，依旧会有很多惊喜与tig式的幽默。After all, she is just a person, who has been given more than she could handle.
评分Tig的声音有一种冷静克制的Funny，母亲去世那一段感同身受。
