The Bedwetter: Stories of Courage, Redemption, and Pee

Sarah Silverman

About this ebook

From the outrageously filthy and oddly innocent comedienne and star of the powerful 2015 film I Smile Back Sarah Silverman comes a memoir—her first book—that is at once shockingly personal, surprisingly poignant, and still pee-in-your-pants funny. 

In this collection of humorous essays, Sarah Silverman tells tales of growing up Jewish in New Hampshire, losing her virginity, learning to curse at 3 years old, and being a bedwetter until she was old enough to drive, and in a surprisingly poignant piece, she recounts the accidental death of her infant brother. Of course, in her loopy, taboo-breaking way, she always manages somehow to leave you laughing. But then you’d expect nothing less from a woman who sang to her boyfriend on national television that she was “F***ing Matt Damon.”

If you like Sarah’s television show The Sarah Silverman Program, or memoirs such as Chelsea Handler’s Are You There Vodka? It’s Me Chelsea and Artie Lange’s Too Fat to Fish, you’ll love The Bedwetter.

Ratings and reviews

Throught the book that are many moments where you see Sarah's comedic sense of humor shine through, but with that being said this book is easily mistaken for something that's suppose to be funny. It's not. While reading you start to dwell deeper into more serious subjects such as suicide and being an outcast that is not only touching but relatable. The Bedwetter is by no means a perfect book, having been written satisfactory and leaving much to be.desired, but overall it's a good read. I would recommend it.

I read this paper back and I would laugh to my self at home, work, ihop. Its its only a 5-6 hour read total and I read slower then the average person so you'll probably finish it. Great buy

Not bad, not amazing. Some good stories within. I love her humor and point of views. Its worth a read.
