Intro:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cSmart, fast, clever, and funny (As f*ck!)\u201d (Tiffany Haddish), this collection of side-splitting and illuminating essays by the popular stand-up comedian, alum of Chelsea Lately and The Mindy Project , and host of truTV\u2019s Talk Show the Game Show is perfect for fans of the New York Times bestsellers Why Not Me? by Mindy Kaling and We Are Never Meeting in Real Life by Samantha Irby.<\/p>\n From a young age, Guy Branum always felt as if he were on the outside looking in.<\/p>\n From a stiflingly boring farm town, he couldn\u2019t relate to his neighbors. While other boys played outside, he stayed indoors reading Greek mythology. And being gay and overweight, he got used to diminishing himself. But little by little, he started learning from all the sad, strange, lonely outcasts in history who had come before him, and he started to feel hope.<\/p>\n In this \u201csingular, genuinely ballsy, and essential\u201d (Billy Eichner) collection of personal essays, Guy talks about finding a sense of belonging at Berkeley\u2014and stirring up controversy in a newspaper column that led to a run\u2011in with the Secret Service. He recounts the pitfalls of being typecast as the \u201cSassy Gay Friend,\u201d and how, after taking a wrong turn in life (i.e. law school), he found stand\u2011up comedy and artistic freedom. He analyzes society\u2019s calculated deprivation of personhood from fat people, and how, though it\u2019s taken him a while to accept who he is, he has learned that with a little patience and a lot of humor, self-acceptance is possible.<\/p>\n \u201cKeenly observant and intelligent, Branum\u2019s book not only offers uproarious insights into walking paths less traveled, but also into what self-acceptance means in a world still woefully intolerant of difference\u201d ( Kirkus Reviews , starred review). My Life as a Goddess is an unforgettable and deeply moving book by one of today\u2019s most endearing and galvanizing voices in comedy.. First published July 31, 2018.
