One of America’s most original comedic voices delivers a darkly funny, wryly observed, and emotionally raw account of her year of death, cancer, and epiphany.
In the span of four months in 2012, Tig Notaro was hospitalized for a debilitating intestinal disease called C. diff, her mother unexpectedly died, she went through a breakup, and then she was diagnosed with bilateral breast cancer. Hit with this devastating barrage, Tig took her grief onstage. Days after receiving her cancer diagnosis, she broke new comedic ground, opening an unvarnished set with the words: “Good evening. Hello. I have cancer. How are you? Hi, how are you? Is everybody having a good time? I have cancer.” The set went viral instantly and was ultimately released as Tig’s sophomore album, Live, which sold one hundred thousand units in just six weeks and was later nominated for a Grammy.
Now, the wildly popular star takes stock of that no good, very bad year—a difficult yet astonishing period in which tragedy turned into absurdity and despair transformed into joy. An inspired combination of the deadpan silliness of her comedy and the open-hearted vulnerability that has emerged in the wake of that dire time, I’m Just a Person is a moving and often hilarious look at this very brave, very funny woman’s journey into the darkness and her thrilling return from it.

It’s too hard to say goodbye when you’ve got nothing to say goodbye to.
评分想讀很久的書。已經差不多知道Tig的故事，但真正聽完整的故事還是很heart wrenching. 寫Stephanie的部分雖然短，但真是很深情很感人，how precious of what they have。人生中能遇到這樣的人，相愛，一起生活，夫復何求？
评分紀錄片/單口/采訪裏描述過的事在書裏講的更細，還有以前沒提過的生父和抑鬱癥。那一年真的很糟糕，媽媽也真的是Tig的hero。 第12章聽得五味雜陳，我不相信親密關係的存在，也總是無所謂立刻去死，所以Tig的求生欲還有和Steph的感情纔格外震撼。要是能給可愛人類續命就好瞭（。
评分人生就是起起落落的stochastic process 每天都要好好過啊混蛋們
