I'm Just a Person
By Tig Notaro
256 pages;
Ecco
Girl meets girl, girl gets life-threatening intestinal infection, girl's mother dies, girl breaks up with girl, girl gets breast cancer, girl performs groundbreaking comedy routine about said tragedies, girl skyrockets to pop culture stardom. Notaro's story is funny not because it's true (although it is), but because it's told by the world-class stand-up with wit and vulnerability.
