She's also a successful actor who has written a barrage of thoughtful essays published by the likes of the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e. If you ask her, though, she's a total fraud. She'd hate to admit it, but no one does impostor syndrome quite like Aparna Nancherla. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUNRELIABLE NARRATOR is a collection of essays that uses Aparna's signature humor to illuminate an interior life, one constantly bossed around by her depression (whom she calls Brenda), laced with anxiety like a horror movie full of jump-scares, and plagued by an unrepenting love-hate relationship with her career as a painfully shy standup comedian. But luckily, crippling self-doubt comes with the gift of keen self-examination. These essays deliver hilarious and incredibly insightful meditations on body image, productivity culture, the ultra-meme-ability of mental health language, and who, exactly, gets to make art \"about nothing.\" Despite her own arguments to the contrary, UNRELIABLE NARRATOR is undeniable proof that Aparna is a force--as a comedian and author alike--to be reckoned with.\r","brand":"Aparna Nancherla","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44439873126636,"sku":"9781984879806","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/1791\/3068\/files\/9781984879806.jpg?v=1708829739","url":"https:\/\/intl.allstora.com\/products\/unreliable-narrator-me-myself-and-impostor-syndrome","provider":"Allstora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
