You're embarrassing yourself : stories of love, lust and movies
Akhavan, Desiree, 1984-2024
Books, Manuscripts
In 'You're Embarrassing Yourself', writer, actor, and director Desiree Akhavan goes to the rawest places - the lifelong struggle to be at peace in one's body, the search for home as the child of immigrants, the anxious underbelly of artistic ambition - in pursuit of wisdom, catharsis, and lolz. Equal parts funny and heartfelt, these seventeen essays chart an artist's journey from outcast to overnight indie darling, to (somewhat) self-aware adult woman. The result is a collection that captures the pathetic lows and euphoric highs of our youth - and how to survive them.
