From award-winning comedian, writer, producer, and actress Amy Schumer comes The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo, a thoughtful, honest, and hysterical collection of (very) personal essays.
Amy Schumer is, without a doubt, everywhere: from the big screen (where she wrote and starred in her first feature film, Trainwreck), to the small screen (where she writes, produces, and stars in the emmy-nominated, award-winning Comedy Central series, Inside Amy Schumer), to newsstands (on the covers of GQ, Elle, Cosmo, Entertainment Weekly, and Glamour, and profiled byThe New York Times, Vogue, The New Yorker, the Guardian, and Business Insider), to the frontlines of the feminist movement as a political comic ("Comedy with a message can easily turn didactic or smug, but Schumer's show feels built to withstand this pressure." - The New Yorker).
For the first time, Schumer puts her sharp wit to paper inThe Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo, a collection of moving, thoughtful, and downright hilarious essays, in the vein of Amy Poehler's Yes Please, Tina Fey's Bossypants, and other memoirs by substantive comedienne- greats that came before her.
TOP SELLING CATEGORY: Titles by fellow female comedians and activists include Bossypants by Tina Fey, Yes Please by Amy Poehler, Why Not Me by Mindy Kaling, and Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me, also by Mindy Kaling.
