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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Aparna Nancherla\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1984879804\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781984879806\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Viking\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/19\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.07lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.32w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/24\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2023 pg. 14\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBookPage\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2023","brand":"Aparna Nancherla","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44075908694271,"sku":"9781984879806","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8f504282-dbb2-4e3b-99a1-b813a87f5468.jpg?v=1685462134","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/unreliable-narrator-aparna-nancherla-9781984879806","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
