About this book
"Though Silverman's book provides her customary shock-and-awe humor . . . it is [her] honesty and vulnerability that are most surprising." āLos Angeles Times
From the outrageously filthy and oddly innocent comedienne and star of the powerful 2015 filmĀ I Smile BackĀ comes a memoirāher first bookāthat is at once shockingly personal, surprisingly poignant, and still pee-in-your-pants funny.Ā
In this collection of humorous essays, Sarah Silverman tells tales of growing up Jewish in New Hampshire, losing her virginity, learning to curse at three years old, and being a bedwetter until she was old enough to drive, and in a surprisingly poignant piece, she recounts the accidental death of her infant brother. Of course, in her loopy, taboo-breaking way, she always manages somehow to leave you laughing. But then you'd expect nothing less from a woman who sang to her boyfriend on national television that she was "F***ing Matt Damon."
If you like Sarah's television showĀ The Sarah Silverman Program, or memoirs such as Chelsea Handler'sĀ Are You There Vodka? It's Me ChelseaĀ and Artie Lange'sĀ Too Fat to Fish, you'll loveĀ The Bedwetter.
"Deftly mixes the spit-take funny stuff with an unsentimental but enlightened look back at her not-so-charmed life and career." ā Vanity Fair
"In this book, as onstage, she has the power to shockānot so easy in these times. Lenny Bruce and Richard Pryor crossed lines; now that the controversy has faded, we remember their genius. And so we will with Sarah Silverman." āPeople
"An engrossing (and grossing) journey from childhood to childish adulthood." ā Heeb Magazine
