Renee Macalino Rutledge: Powell's Q&A: Renee Macalino Rutledge, author of 'One Hundred Percent Me' (0 comment)
Could you describe your latest book, One Hundred Percent Me?
A little girl is used to hearing questions about her looks all the time. "Where are you from?" "What are you?" These questions are a constant reminder from others that she is different. As she embraces her identity and culture, she teaches others that she belongs, that the differences they notice are part of what make her unique, special, and herself....

Yay! is how I felt when I found out Amy Schumer had a book deal. She's had my heart since her "Very Realistic Military Game" sketch. This book is exactly as hilarious, sharp, unapologetic, and awesome as you think it will be. Recommended By Britt A., Powells.com

Publisher Comments

The Emmy Award-winning comedian, actress, writer, and star of Inside Amy Schumer and the acclaimed film Trainwreck has taken the entertainment world by storm with her winning blend of smart, satirical humor. Now, Amy Schumer has written a refreshingly candid and uproariously funny collection of (extremely) personal and observational essays.

In The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo, Amy mines her past for stories about her teenage years, her family, relationships, and sex and shares the experiences that have shaped who she is—a woman with the courage to bare her soul to stand up for what she believes in, all while making us laugh.

Ranging from the raucous to the romantic, the heartfelt to the harrowing, this highly entertaining and universally appealing collection is the literary equivalent of a night out with your best friend—an unforgettable and fun adventure that you wish could last forever. Whether she’s experiencing lust-at-first-sight while in the airport security line, sharing her own views on love and marriage, admitting to being an introvert, or discovering her cross-fit instructor’s secret bad habit, Amy Schumer proves to be a bighearted, brave, and thoughtful storyteller that will leave you nodding your head in recognition, laughing out loud, and sobbing uncontrollably—but only because it’s over.

Review

"[Amy Schumer's] prose, like her popular comedy act, is plucky, forthright, hilariously raunchy—and honest. Amid ill-fated dates, alcohol-induced blackouts, and late-night eating binges, Schumer, in these candid, well-crafted essays, wears her mistakes 'like badges of honor.'" Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)

Review

"[An] excellent new essay collection... [The book] is, contrary to the postmodern parfait that is Schumer’s standard act, decidedly un-layered. It is Schumer, the celebrity, shedding Schumer, the schtick. It is a memoir that is also an unapologetic paean to self-love. In that, The Girl With the Lower Back Tattoo finds a new way for Schumer to be radical: It treats feminine self-confidence not in the way it is too often regarded, as a BrainyQuotable truism or an inborn gift or a fuzzy aspiration or, indeed, a source of shame, but rather as a skill like any other—something that is developed and worked at and thus, most importantly, earned... Schumer’s stories are really, particularly good." The Atlantic

Review

"Amy Schumer's book will make you love her even more. For a comedian of unbridled (and generally hilarious) causticity, Schumer has written a probing, confessional, unguarded, and, yes, majorly humanizing non-memoir, a book that trades less on sarcasm, and more on emotional resonance." Vogue

Review

"Amy’s got your back. She’s in your corner. She’s an honesty bomb. And she’s coming for you." Actress Tilda Swinton and Trainwreck co-star

I knew that Amy was funny and I follow her on Instagram, but honestly don't know that much about her private life, so was really intrigued by this book. I was blown away! Truly honest about every aspect of her life and doesn't hold back. I laughed, cried and found a soul mate. She had me saying out loud on more than one occasion "YES!!! THIS IS ME!!!!" Her honesty about not only her past horrible relationships but about her family's pain and issues has made me a true fan that can't wait to see what she does next.

Loved every minute of this book. Each chapter provides insight into Amy's life, shedding light on how she became the funny, relatable girl she is today. Don't expect laugh out loud jokes throughout this book, though; it's not meant to be a printed version of her comedy show.
