A review by stories
Ten Steps to Nanette: A Memoir Situation by Hannah Gadsby

5.0

Incredibly well written. Cyclic, moving, insightful, informative. Well paced, gorgeously done as an audiobook. Loved the expansions into state, national and global context. Loved the interwoven threads and references that carried. Each chapter was a well-constructed, self contained bundle, that still left you wanting to continue. 

Not sure if it would have been “better” to have already seen Nanette, but I hadn’t and I loved it.
