"A hilarious and insightful collection of essays exploring imposter syndrome, from the inside and out, by the most successful fraud in comedy Aparna Nancherla is a superstar comedian on the rise-a darling of Netflix and Comedy Central's comedy special lineups, a headliner at comedy shows and music festivals, a frequenter of late night television and the subject of numerous profiles, all while co-hosting a regularly sold-out comedy show. She's also a successful actor who has written a barrage of thoughtful essays published by the likes of the New York Times. If you ask her, though, she's a total fraud. She'd hate to admit it, but no one does imposter syndrome quite like Aparna Nancherla"-- Provided by publisher.
