Sara Benincasa
I subscribe to the notion that if you can laugh at the shittiest moments in your life,you can transcend them. And if other people can laugh at your awful shit as well, then I guess you can officially call yourself a comedian.,In Boston, a college student fears leaving her own roomâ€”even to use the toilet. In Pennsylvania, a meek personal assistant finally confronts a perpetually enraged gay spiritual guru. In Texas, a rookie high school teacher deals with her male studentâ€™s unusually, er, hard personal problem. Sara Benincasa has been that terrified student, that embattled employee, that confused teacherâ€”and so much more. Her hilarious memoir chronicles her attempts to forge a wonderfully weird adulthood in the midst of her lifelong struggle with agoraphobia, depression, and unruly hair.,Relatable, unpretentious, and unsentimental, ,Agorafabulous!, celebrates eccentricity, resilience, and the power of humor to light up even the darkest corners of our lives. (There are also some sexy parts, but theyâ€™re really awkward. Like really, ,really, awkward.)
