Fey, Tina. (2011), Bossypants. New York: Little Brown & Co.
I listened to this on audiobook, and I'm so glad I did! I can't imagine
how much less fun this would have been without Tina's actual voice. A collection of biographical essays and thematically related humor
pieces rather than a straight chronological reminiscence, it includes a
women’s-magazine parody touting Fey’s beauty secrets, a tongue-in-cheek
“prayer” for her daughter, a mock facts-of-life brochure for girls, a
sendup of the fictional parenting concept of “me time” and so on. The
writing doesn’t so much flow from one topic to another as stop for scene
changes. Ms. Fey’s self-image as a smart, unyielding woman who has forced her way to the top of what is usually a man’s profession.
