あらすじ
Hilarious, heartwarming and inspirational, this is the number 1 Sunday Times bestselling autobiography by comedian Sarah Millican. The funniest book of the year! ***** 'The naughtiest, helpiest, laughieoutloudiest and goodest book I've ever done reading on. Give that girl a banana!' DAWN FRENCH SARAH MILLICAN'S AUTOBIOGRAPHY WILL MAKE YOU LAUGH, FEEL NORMAL AND PROBABLY SNIFF YOUR LEGGINGS. Part autobiography, part self help, part confession, part celebration of being a common-or-garden woman, part collection of synonyms for nunny, Sarah Millican's debut book delves into her super normal life with daft stories, funny tales and proper advice on how to get past life's blips - like being good at school but not good at friends, the excitement of IBS and how to blossom post divorce. If you've ever worn glasses at the age of six, worn an off-the-shoulder gown with no confidence, been contacted by an old school bully, lived in your childhood bedroom in your thirties, been gloriously dumped in a Frankie and Benny's, cried so much you felt great, been for a romantic walk with a dog, worn leggings two days in a row even though they smelt of wee from a distance, then this is YOUR BOOK. If you haven't done those things but wish you had, THIS IS YOUR BOOK. If you just want to laugh on a train/sofa/toilet or under your desk at work, THIS IS YOUR BOOK. 'Of course Sarah Millican's book will make you laugh out loud, but there are moments where she will touch you deeply. The dirty bitch.' KATHY BURKE
作品考察・見どころ
サラ・ミリカンは、不完全な「普通」の生を徹底的に肯定する革命を本作で成し遂げました。離婚や身体的な悩みといった人生の汚点を、極上のユーモアと慈愛でダイヤモンドへと変える筆致は圧巻です。読者はその赤裸々な告白に爆笑しながら、いつの間にか自らの欠点さえも愛おしく感じる魔法にかかるでしょう。 本書が描く「チャンピオン」とは、華々しい勝利者ではなく、泥臭い日常を笑い飛ばして生き抜く者への賛辞に他なりません。自叙伝でありながら、迷える魂を救う哲学書としても機能する本作は、テキストならではの親密な対話を通じて、ありのままの自分を抱きしめる勇気を与えてくれます。
