Tina Fey’s Bossypants fits into a couple of different
categories of memoir. She discusses numerous big events that happened while
growing up into her adult life and career. A constant topic through the ages of
her story is her relationships with co-workers, love interests, family, and any
other people. Early in the book, she spends a good bit of a chapter on the
people she worked with at her summer job in high school. That section alone
covers two of the categories of memoirs- careers and relationships. She also
discusses many “coming of age” stories like her first kiss, realizing a boy didn’t
like her, and when she recognized she wanted to be a writer. I imagine farther
along in the book she will discuss more about her career as a comedian and
writer and the adversity of being a woman in that field. This memoir is a
jumble of all the different topics a memoir should cover- relationships, coming
of age, career, and adversity.
