Bossypants

Before there was Liz Lemon, before there was "Sarah Palin," before there was "Weekend Update"--there was a woman with a dream. A dream that one day she would write a book about how she got there. But she had to get there first. On her way to becoming an award-winning superstar, Tina Fey struggled through some questionable haircuts, some after-school jobs, the rise of nachos as a cultural phenomenon, a normal childhood, a happy marriage and joyful motherhood. Her story must be told! Fey's pursuit of the perfect Beauty Routine may actually give you laugh lines, and her depiction of her whirlwing tour of duty as the Other Sarah Palin on "Saturday Night Live" takes you behind the scenes of a comedy event that transfixed the nation. Now Fey can reflect on what she's learned: you're no one until someone calls you bossy.

Tina Fey is one of the world's greatest comic writers and performers. Bossy Pants is her first book.
