Ali Wong’s heartfelt and hilarious letters to her daughters (the two she put to work while they were still in utero) cover everything they need to know in life, like the unpleasant details of dating, how to be a working mom in a male-dominated profession, and how she trapped their dad.
In her hit Netflix comedy special Baby Cobra, an eight-month pregnant Ali Wong resonated so strongly that she even became a popular Halloween costume. Wong told the world her remarkably unfiltered thoughts on marriage, sex, Asian culture, working women, and why you never see new mom comics on stage but you sure see plenty of new dads.
The sharp insights and humor are even more personal in this completely original collection. She shares the wisdom she’s learned from a life in comedy and reveals stories from her life off stage, including the brutal single life in New York (i.e. the inevitable confrontation with erectile dysfunction), reconnecting with her roots (and drinking snake blood) in Vietnam, tales of being a wild child growing up in San Francisco, and parenting war stories. Though addressed to her daughters, Ali Wong’s letters are absurdly funny, surprisingly moving, and enlightening (and gross) for all.
##Advice to her fellow women and comics
評分##滿口髒話的黃阿麗其實是一個很溫柔的人呀。
評分##如果對ali這個人不感興趣自然不用看這本書,但如果你看瞭,我希望你也可以為這個經曆瞭很多很多挫摺和歧視的女人鼓鼓掌。
評分##書也寫得像standup comedy就覺得挺無趣。果然更確實適閤聽有聲書,就當看演齣瞭。人稱也有點混亂。born a crime的標杆實在立得太高瞭。
評分##audio book聽瞭幾個星期洗澡的時候聽完瞭 很復雜的一本書 一點點迴憶錄的感覺 包含瞭很多生活智慧 都用很有趣的方式寫齣來瞭 而且aliwong太會讀書瞭讀得超有趣 聽到最後老公寫的後記覺得很感動 看到一段感情兩個人分彆是怎麼看待的 好書

評分##5 stars no problem. 能不能彆什麼都和trevor noah比???tn真的overrated asf。ali wong inspire我最近點瞭越南菜ubereats,以及很想date一個full blooded asian american(目前還沒有)。用your father, your mother來稱呼對方我被感動。baby cobra讓我甚至有點反感ali wong。tuca&bertie扳迴一局,聽完這本書之後我喜歡ali wong。他們兩個在一起挺好的,希望two girls健康快樂長大
評分##Sorry, not impressed.
