Maria Bamford is a comedian’s comedian (an outsider among outsiders) and has forever fought to find a place to belong. From struggling with an eating disorder as a child of the 1980s, to navigating a career in the arts (and medical debt and psychiatric institutionalization), she has tried just about every method possible to not only be a part of the world, but to want to be a part of it. In Bamford’s “trademark blend of disarming intimacy and dark whimsy” (Publishers Weekly), Sure, I’ll Join Your Cult brings us on a quest to participate in something.

Laughing so hard! Wonderfully honest mental health memoir
Revisado: 10-11-23
First of all this book is pee your pants funny. The audiobook in particular is hysterical because she does the voice impressions and oh man it’s just absolutely awesome. I’m laughing out loud washing dishes.
Second of all, as a therapist with over 20 years experience, I can say this is a beautiful, honest, heartbreaking but ultimately redeeming and encouraging story. Her explanation of intrusive thoughts is the best I’ve read (not to mention the funniest). I am confident it would bring comfort to so many who suffer in shame with these thoughts. I wish I could recommend it to many clients I’ve worked with in the past (especially the teens).
Thank you for sharing your journey.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 432
Growing up as the daughter of Mexican immigrants in Chicago in the nineties, Erika Sánchez was a self-described pariah, misfit, and disappointment—a foul-mouthed, melancholic rabble-rouser who painted her nails black but also loved comedy, often laughing so hard with her friends that she had to leave her school classroom. Twenty-five years later, she’s now an award-winning novelist, poet, and essayist, but she’s still got an irrepressible laugh, an acerbic wit, and singular powers of perception about the world around her.

Honest, raw, reflective & hilarious
Revisado: 12-13-22
This story really grabbed me. It is incredibly raw and real. She is so honest you feel like you know her. Her reflections on race as a person of color are so clear and unflinching. Another important voice for white people to read and I would guess validating for people of color.
As a therapist I feel she gives the best description of depression that I’ve ever read. Surprising that I’m a book describing such immense depression she also manages to be absolutely hilarious. Highly recommend

Like many women of her generation, Heather Lanier did everything by the book when she was expecting her first child. But her daughter, Fiona, challenged all of Lanier's preconceptions. Born with an ultra-rare syndrome known as Wolf-Hirschhorn, Fiona received a daunting prognosis: She would experience significant developmental delays and might not reach her second birthday. Award-winning writer Heather Lanier's memoir about raising a child with a rare syndrome, defying the tyranny of normal, and embracing parenthood as a spiritual practice that breaks us open in the best of ways.

Incredible, beautifully written tale
Revisado: 03-13-21
I don’t usually review books but this one is so excellent I had to. It’s engaging, beautifully written and powerfully told. Important notes on people with special needs, and their caregivers, that we should all read. Profoundly comforting and inspiring.
