Funny, informal collection of essays about West's life as a fat feminist in comedy. I'd like to say that her accounts of dealing with trolls and rape threats were shocking and illuminating, but I'm all too sadly aware that this is a nastily common occurrence - the genuinely shocking bit was when one of the trolls, who'd been impersonating her recently dead dad, stumbled on the existence of empathy and reached into decent behaviour long enough to apologise. (Sad that this bare minimum is the shocking part.)

Notable here is the strain of kindness that runs throughout the piece. I'd have difficulty forgiving that awful man myself but West seems to have managed it, and her consistent ability to hold on to compassion is really quite remarkable. I seem to have had a reading streak on books privileging kindness lately, and it's been wonderful. More of that, please!
