Amazing Disgrace: A Book About "Shame"

Product Information

This book for me is hilarious whilst still being a little bit poignant and makes me wish Grace Campbell were my friend. This book is ideal for girls 15 years younger than me, if even just a starting block for more concrete guidance on loving yourself before you can another. She adds trigger warnings and acknowledges her imperfections, faults and where she is still learning. This woman is unashamedly herself from the outset: sex-positive, political, intelligent, hilarious and surprisingly very vulnerable, opening up about the kind of experiences we all have as young women, but very often fail to articulate. i enjoyed this more as a humorous book rather than a straight up memoir (because she is too young) or as a feminist book since it lacked depth on the topic of shame.

Her ancedotes about fanny farting about trips, about trips to the sexual health clinic as the in place were entirely hilarious. The Seattle Times: "The vainglorious Gerald is a wonderfully cranky narrator and the book's satirical-outrage factor sometimes reaches Borat-like heights. She’s in her own limelight, talking about really difficult stuff, making the world her stage and being very brave in doing so.p. 23) and then goes onto highlight every instance of this disgraced PM’s attempts to derail her childhood. Read more about the condition Very Good: A book that has been read and does not look new, but is in excellent condition. As I feel the echoes of my ancestors' shame, Amazing Disgrace assured me that this inspirational new generation of young women are so much more than their fathers' daughters and their husbands' wives.

In Amazing Disgrace: The Voicenotes, Grace Campbell, the self-proclaimed queen of disgrace, will interview her guests on all the most disgraceful things they’ve ever done, and then they will give advice to members of the public on their own personal shame dilemmas. it’s definitely a funny read, although there was more about politics than shame, but i suppose that’s just because of who she is. The inimitable Gerald Samper is back, with his musings on the absurdities of modern life and his entertaining asides during which he comments on everything from publishing to penile implants, celebrity sportswomen to Australian media moguls. I am a self-professed alcoholic bookworm who has spent a substantial period of her life falling into very similar traps as Grace Campbell. I absolutely love Grace, but I put off reading this for a little while because I was apprehensive that it would scream privilege and be vastly unrelatable.

She is a chaotic force of nature and a committed over-sharer who is on a constant, often hilarious, mission to undermine the patriarchy. At only 27, Grace has got a lot to learn about being an adult, but she's already got a lot to share about being a disgrace, and how she came to be utterly, disgustingly, disgracefully proud of it. The podcast is being released to tie-in with Grace Campbell’s debut book AMAZING DISGRACE: A BOOK ABOUT “SHAME”,coming October 29th. I didn’t know I needed it, or that I’d relate to it so much, but Amazing Disgrace has made me really reflect on the normalised shame I feel most days of my life and has helped me to question why it is that I feel it in the first place.

By the end of the book, I felt like I could have been Grace’s best mate if I’d just happened to live across the road from her or gone to her secondary school (also attended by Dua Lipa and Campbell won’t let you forget it). Hamilton-Paterson, one of our finest prose stylists, is a national treasure; and Amazing Disgrace [. What I loved about this book is that it 100% Grace Campbell in all of her glory, she refuses to be pigeon holed into a box of how women are expected to behave and what they are supposed to talk about.Grace’s memoir dives into the importance of female friendships, uplifting other women, relationships, shame, rejection, mental health. Just because I know there are people out there with more privilege than me doesn’t mean I don’t have to acknowledge the power structures that I’ve benefited from… Checking your privilege is a good first step, but saying that isn’t enough. A poor condition book can still make a good reading copy but is generally not collectible unless the item is very scarce. This episode Grace talks to influencer and podcaster Oenone Forbat about struggles with body image while growing up, therapy, and the trouble with Instagram vs mental health. The only part that I found dragged a bit was around the opening chapters when she talks about her childhood hatred for Tony Blair a lot, which feels a bit aimless and isn't something many people (nobody?
