![]() ![]() ![]() In what is more a linked series of personal essays than a traditional narrative memoir, Fey takes the reader on a tour of her childhood, her early days as a performer on the Chicago improv scene, landing her dream job as an SNL writer, conceiving and launching 30 Rock and the weird and wonderful time she spent impersonating Sarah Palin during the last US election. Both kinds of notoriety promise an above-average reading experience. And for another, she’s lately been the postergirl for the average-looking smart woman, with unlikely turns in Vogue and on the cover of Vanity Fair. ![]() For one thing, she’s as well known for her writing as her performing as well as being the creator and star of critical darling 30 Rock, she was head writer for Saturday Night Live and wrote the screenplay for the best high school movie ever (or: the best high school movie not by John Hughes), Mean Girls. But then, Tina Fey is not your average celebrity either. ![]() It’s obvious just from a glance at the cover (in which Fey’s made-up face and blow-waved hair are teamed with hairy man-hands) that Bossypants is not your average celebrity memoir. ![]()
