by Tina Fey
First published 2012
Tina Fey was a geeky kid from Pennsylvania who stumbled into the cutthroat world of comedy. But with razor-sharp wit and sheer determination, she climbed the ranks from Chicago improv to the heights of Saturday Night Live. Now, Fey dishes on the chaos of life as a TV writer, the challenge of impersonating Sarah Palin, and the perils of breastfeeding on a cruise ship. Through it all, she reveals the heart and soul of a hardworking comedy genius who's just trying to make it through the day without making a fool of herself. Bossypants is Tina Fey's uproarious, no-holds-barred autobiography - a laugh-out-loud look at how she conquered the male-dominated world of comedy and became one of the most beloved entertainers of our time.
