In Tina Fey’s Bossypants she discusses many different
aspects of her life from childhood to present day. She talks mostly about many
different events that shaped her life, like her first crush, her first job out
of college, and her disastrous honeymoon. As I posted in my last blog entry,
this memoir is a combination of relationships, coming of age, career, and
overcoming adversity. There is one story she tells about her first job out of
college working at the YMCA in Chicago. She reminisces on having to beat out
another women for a promotion. This example shows all four of the topics I just
mentioned.
Writing about many different
small events that shaped her into who she is today is a really interesting
idea. With her comedic tint on everything, it makes the book very enjoyable to
read. It does make it a little difficult for this assignment because she covers
so many topics though. Each chapter is a different story.
The ideal audience of this book
is women and her fans. Women because she is writing about things from her point
of view that men might not understand, i.e. her first crush and the first time
getting her period. But I believe if someone, man or woman, old or young, is a
big fan of Tina Fey that they would pick it up too. And I can’t imagine a fan
picking up this book and not thinking it is hilarious, because if you are
familiar with Tina Fey’s work, then this is just the same but more personal.
