内容简介

With his brand of keenly intelligent humor that ranges from world history to historical politics, sexual politics, mad ancient kings, and chickens with guns, Eddie Izzard has built an extraordinary fan base that transcends age, gender, and race. Writing with the same candor and insight evident in his comedy, he reflects on a childhood marked by the loss of his mother, boarding school, and alternative sexuality, as well as a life in comedy, film, politics, running and philanthropy.

    要听有声书才能fully get本书精华。2018年最喜欢的书!英国stand-up comedian Eddie Izzard的回忆录/自传。强烈推荐有声书,作者自己朗读,作为临场发挥技术过硬的表演艺术者这本书像是一场马拉松脱口秀。这显然是加了粉丝滤镜的选择,认识他是近两年的事(相见恨晚!),看过他全套女装的专场后热血沸腾、热泪盈眶:哇!这是一个完全自由的人,一个美丽的人。11-29

    BBC自述版,是Trans中百合取向, 1980年的腐国就已经有“爱咋咋滴”的自由了!哼!07-07

    第一本真正意义上因为参加POPSUGAR才去看的书。作者自己念的有声书,加了很多原书没有的extra footnotes,非常可爱的碎碎念。在此之前,我理念上虽然知道性别认同可以有很多种,但male lesbian只是作为一种抽象的、概念上的可能性而存在。感谢他提供了一个如此美好迷人的具体形象。面对生活,面对困境,面对梦想,要有充沛的热情、勇气和能量,这也许只是口号或者鸡汤,但也可以是一个人日复一日的生活历程。以及,看到他六岁失去母亲的那些段落,一开始很心疼,后来……很羡慕。01-31
