7/1/2023 0 Comments Poehler memoir![]() ![]() ![]() Yes Please gives us a collection of anecdotes that highlight her work ethic and in constantly thanking her nannies, parents, peers and BFFs, she also constantly checks her privilege.ĭon’t get me wrong the anticipated LOLs are all there. ![]() Poehler is a hardworking writer, producer and performer as well as a mother, daughter, colleague and friend. “I’m slugging away every day, just like you”, and you really get that. Yes Please is as self-effacing as it is self-affirmative it’s a humorous and touching study of success and everyday-life strains. I know my own tricks!” – sets Yes Please apart from the rest. And as much as her “self-indulgent preface” attempts to lower expectations, the fact that she calls herself on this attempt – “I am a grown woman. ” But in Yes Please Poehler certainly brings her own. Yes, she knows it’s not going to be a best-selling literary revelation like Patti Smith’s Just Kids because, in Poehler’s words, Just Kids is so “beautiful and poetic and how dare. Yes, she knows that Yes Please will be catalogued and inevitably compared to releases from Sarah Silverman, Mindy Kaling and (obvs) Tina Fey. In her opening preamble – ‘Writing is Hard: A Preface’ – Poehler acknowledges, in her self-deprecating yet candid fashion, that she’s ill-equipped to be writing a celebrity memoir. ![]()
