Ogni quattro anni, più o meno inesorabilmente, all'arrivo della Coppa del Mondo di Calcio per molti lettori si consuma lo stesso terribile e cupo dramma.

A candid, hilarious, and heartbreaking memoir of resilience and redemption by comedic genius Molly Shannon. At age four, her world shattered when she lost her mother, baby sister, and cousin in a car accident with her father at the wheel. Held together by a tender yet complicated relationship with her grieving father, Molly grew up in a permissive household where her gift for improvisation and role-playing flourished, alongside the fearlessness that would lead her to become a celebrated actress. She ventured into the competitive realms of New York and Los Angeles show business, creating her own opportunities and developing her daring, empathetic comedy. Filled with behind-the-scenes stories involving icons like Whitney Houston, Adam Sandler, and Monica Lewinsky, many shared for the first time, the memoir spans her time on Saturday Night Live, where she starred alongside Will Ferrell, Cheri Oteri, and Jimmy Fallon. It also candidly explores her struggle to reconcile her father's legacy—a man who nurtured her talents while grappling with the daunting task of raising his children alone after their tragic loss. Witty, winning, and infused with energy and heart, this memoir sheds new light on the life and work of one of our most talented and free-spirited performers.
