About this product
Product Information
The New Yorker Best Books of 2023 NPR's Books We Love 2023 "A deeply honest and funny look at how exhausting it can be to live a human life, Unreliable Narrator is a book for anyone who wants to laugh and feel less alone."--Amy Poehler A hilarious and insightful collection of essays exploring impostor syndrome, from the inside and out, by the most successful fraud in comedy Aparna Nancherla is a superstar comedian on the rise--a darling of Netflix and Comedy Central's comedy special lineups, a headliner at comedy shows and music festivals, a frequenter of late night television and the subject of numerous profiles. She's also a successful actor who has written a barrage of thoughtful essays published by the likes of the New York Times . If you ask her, though, she's a total fraud. She'd hate to admit it, but no one does impostor syndrome quite like Aparna Nancherla. UNRELIABLE NARRATOR is a collection of essays that uses Aparna's signature humor to illuminate an interior life, one constantly bossed around by her depression (whom she calls Brenda), laced with anxiety like a horror movie full of jump-scares, and plagued by an unrepenting love-hate relationship with her career as a painfully shy standup comedian. But luckily, crippling self-doubt comes with the gift of keen self-examination. These essays deliver hilarious and incredibly insightful meditations on body image, productivity culture, the ultra-meme-ability of mental health language, and who, exactly, gets to make art "about nothing." Despite her own arguments to the contrary, UNRELIABLE NARRATOR is undeniable proof that Aparna is a force--as a comedian and author alike--to be reckoned with.

Reviews
" A psychological journey through the mind of a hyperintelligent comedian, one who has a hard time fitting in and who bristles against the mainstream because she seems to be so much smarter than the rest of us...Aparna Nancherla provides...[a] self-analysis that tries to justify to herself -- and explain to us -- why she's a comic." --Vulture "Hilarious and insightful." --PureWow "A deadpan feat...In this highly researched essayistic memoir about the convergence of art and mental health, the anxiety-addled, excruciatingly shy, cosmically exhausted Nancherla is looking her self-doubt right in the eyes." --Bustle "In this funny and insightful collection of essays...[Nancherla] deftly employs the tension and release of a stand-up routine...Readers will relate and will find themselves laughing out loud at this honest and humorous debut." --Booklist "Comedian Nancherla debuts with an intimate essay collection reflecting on the mental health challenges she's navigated while building a career in comedy...The sardonic humor and candid meditations on mental health resonate.

I've never laughed so hard while getting to know myself better." --John Hodgman "I love every single thing the wickedly hilarious Aparna Nancherla does - as a human being, a comedian and now, author." --Tig Notaro, "[A] super-smart, deliciously readable, achingly poignant and -- OK -- occasionally humorous new collection of essays." -- Los Angeles Times "A glimpse into the brain of a woman who works very hard to take care of it...[These] essays...tell a story of struggle, skepticism and, ultimately, perseverance." --Washington Post "In her deliciously self-deprecating memoir Unreliable Narrator...

Ultimate find, I was looking for one of these for a long time, and when I found this one I had no hesitation in purchasing it, the seller was extremely helpful and communicated very well. The price with the postage was very reasonable and when I got it home the item looked better in person than it did in the picture

I wasn't too impressed with no reply to my messages after a delay in posting item but am happy it arrived in time for Christmas. Item is great as described although a bit pricey at 3x what it cost in store. Thankyou
