We talked to cameronesposito about her new memoir, self-care when writing about trauma, and the importance of connection.
In a time where the world seems like it’s perpetually on fire, Cameron Esposito has some advice: save yourself.
So how did your story evolve from “oh, I’ll do an ‘Ask a Lesbian’ type of book to “I’m going to give you this deeper memoir about my life”? So because you had the space in the book, you were able to go into an amount of detail that stand-up doesn’t allow for. Like you were just saying, some of it was traumatic, but some of it was really amazing. How did you pick which events you would go into detail about?
Speaking more on tonal shifts, there was one story you included in your book I thought was really powerful, which was the experience of realizing retroactively you’d been sexually assaulted. I know this is something you did a full hour of stand-up on, but I also know it’s something extraordinarily difficult to talk about.
