À propos de cet audio

 Shrill is an uproarious memoir, a feminist rallying cry in a world that thinks gender politics are tedious and that women, especially feminists, can't be funny.

Coming of age in a culture that demands women be as small, quiet, and compliant as possible -- like a porcelain dove that will also have sex with you -- writer and humoristLindy West quickly discovered that she was anything but.

From a painfully shy childhood in which she tried, unsuccessfully, to hide her big body and even bigger opinions; to her public war with stand-up comedians over rape jokes; to her struggle to convince herself, and then the world, that fat people have value; to her accidental activism and never-ending battle royale with Internet trolls, Lindy narrates her life with a blend of humor and pathos that manages to make a trip to the abortion clinic funny and wring tears out of a story about diarrhea.

With inimitable good humor, vulnerability, and boundless charm, Lindy boldly shares how to survive in a world where not all stories are created equal and not all bodies are treated with equal respect, and how to weather hatred, loneliness, harassment, and loss, and walk away laughing. Shrill provocatively dissects what it means to become self-aware the hard way, to go from wanting to be silent and invisible to earning a living defending the silenced in all caps.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Lindy West's memoir is a witty and cathartic take on toxic misogyny and fat shaming. She comes to accept her body just as Internet trolls congregate en masse to try to rip this new confidence from her, but she's rearing to fight back...In Shrill, West is our fat, ferocious, and funny avenging angel."—NPR, Best Books of 2016
"It made me hurt, both from laughing and crying. Required reading if you are a feminist. Recommended reading if you aren't."—Jenny Lawson, #1 bestselling author of Let's Pretend This Never Happened and Furiously Happy
"Lindy West is an essential (and hilarious) voice for women. Her talent and bravery have made the Internet a place I actually want to be. Thank you, Lindy."—Lena Dunham, #1 bestselling author of Not That Kind of Girl
"Hey reader! I thought I'd read enough in this lifetime about people's childhoods and feelings and such and I'd never want to do it again. But Lindy West is such a totally entertaining and original writer she kind of blew that thought out of my head halfway into the first chapter. I dare you to feel differently."—Ira Glass, This American Life
"It's literally the new Bible."—Caitlin Moran, bestselling author of How to Be a Woman
"One of the most distinctive voices advancing feminist politics through humor...With patience, humor and a wildly generous attitude toward her audience [West] meets readers at their point of prejudice so that she may, with little visible effort, shepherd them toward a more humane point of view."—The New York Times Book Review
"Lindy West is funny. That's the first thing you should know about her essay collection on feminism, fat acceptance, and Internet harassment....Lindy has faced so many intolerable and enraging situations as a fat woman who is outspoken in her writing and on social media, but she always frames her negative experiences with humor and perspective. With her clear-eyed insights into modern culture and her confidence in her own intelligence and personal worth, West appeals to the humanity of even the most parents' basement-dwelling, misogynistic and casually hateful of trolls."—Esquire, Best Books of 2016
"There's a reason Lindy West is such a beloved writer: she gets to the heart of impossible issues with humor and grace. West will have you cringing, laughing and crying, all within one page. Shrill is a must-read for all women."—Jessica Valenti, author of Why Have Kids and Full Frontal Feminism
"The surge of love and joy I felt while crylaughing through this book almost made my cold dead heart explode. Lindy is so smart and so funny that it almost hurts my little jealous-ass feelings. She is my most favorite writer ever."—Samantha Irby, author of Meaty

Lindy West is a genius

Started out sarcastic and a bit snarky, but, the meat of this book is perfection. I can't wait for future work from Lindy.

Loved it

I have ready this book numerous times, getting something different out of it every time. This book is funny and relatable, Lindy puts words to feelings I never knew how to articulate. I think everyone should read this book!

Beautifully done

This book is amazing and I love that Lindy narrated it. I would love to say what I specifically love about it but it’s all just so awesome. I do really enjoy Hello I’m Fat though. Great listen and it makes it all that much better that Lindy narrated it.

Love this audio book!!!

An important lesson in empathy, and how our actions do not occur in a vacuum. Well read and beautifully written. Lindy is so articulate in how she explains complex issues and yet she manages to do so in a way that is relatable and accessible to all. I wish I read this book in my teens! I wish our society would amplify the voices of women like her! We could learn so much, and avoid so much unecessary pain.

Must read for men and women!

I must live under a rock, because I did not know who Lindy West was before listening to her book. Well, she is candid, funny, completely raw, and I think each and every woman will laugh and cry and totally fall in love with her, just as I did. Yes, it’s helpful for the HAES and body positive crew (which I hope someday soon will be everyone), but everyone will get some major takeaways from this read and hopefully start to realize the stigmatizing things happening in our culture are capable of changing. As someone with thin privilege, I especially appreciated her recounts of her struggles fighting fat stigma. If everyone listened to this book I think it could create a ripple of change among us. Everyone deserves equal treatment. Stories like Lindy’s, and the work she is doing, fill my heart with hope for a better world. Thank you, Lindy. We owe you so much for your brave crusade.

Must Listen

This book is everything good.
Funny. Honest. Relatable. Validating.
Lindy West is an exceptional writer and fantastic narrator. If you grew up in a fat female body, you need to read this book... probably more than once.
Will undoubtedly re-listen.

If you're a fat woman, you need this book.

I was browsing Audible looking to listen to something that was short that I could enjoy in just one sitting. I listened the the sample and enjoyed listening to narrator’s voice. Narration can make or break an audiobook for me. I was not expecting the book to be as good as it is. I’d never heard of Lindy West before but now I will read any book she writes. She hits on some serious topics and the book is very thought provoking. I definitely recommend this book.
