This hilarious and honest bestselling memoir from a rising comedy star tackles issues of gender, sexuality, feminism, and the Catholic childhood that prepared her for a career as an outspoken lesbian comedian (Abby Wambach). Cameron Esposito wanted to be a priest and ended up a stand-up comic. Now she would like to tell the whole queer as hell story. Her story. Not the sidebar to a straight persons rebirth-she doesnt give a makeover or plan a wedding or get a couple back together. This isnt a queer tragedy. She doesnt die at the end of this book, having finally decided to kiss the girl. Its the sexy, honest, bumpy, and triumphant dykes tale her younger, wasnt-allowed-to-watch-Ellen self needed to read. Because there was a long time when she thought she wouldnt make it. Not as a comic, but as a human. SAVE YOURSELF is full of funny and insightful recollections about everything from coming out (at a Catholic college where sexual orientation wasnt in the nondiscrimination policy) to how joining the circus can help you become a better comic (so much nudity) to accepting yourself for who you are-even if youre, say, a bowl cut-sporting, bespectacled, gender-nonconforming child with an eye patch (which Cameron was). Packed with heart, humor, and cringeworthy stories anyone who has gone through puberty, fallen in love, started a career, or had period sex in Rome can relate to, Camerons memoir is for that timid, fenced-in kid in all of us-and the fearless stand-up yearning to break free.
