Skip to product information
Now in paperback, a hilarious, moving memoir by Argentine American comedian Tamara Yajia, "one of the funniest people I know" (Cecily Strong). Tamara Yajia entered the world on a wave of absurdity, born into a family no one would call normal, from her grandfather, the salami-obsessed poppers salesman, to her mother, the OnlyFans model. Not only will her family try anything once, like moving to the United States and opening a food stand named Sexy Chicken; they'll try anything multiple times, like moving back to Argentina, then back to the United States. The road doesn't get easier for a twelve-year-old Argentinian Jew trying to make it big in Orange County. But through grit, hustle, and a series of harebrained schemes like joining a girl band, and performing her own one-woman show, Cumming of Age, Tam has made it through, and she's ready to spill some shit--figuratively and literally. Tamara Yajia's debut memoir is the messy, blazing story of a young Argentine trying to survive while holding on to her confidence, ambition, and sense of humor. "Tamara Yajia's book is everything you could want from a memoir--the juiciest details, unforgettable characters, all sensually dancing on that delicate tightrope of hilarious and vulnerable. I wholeheartedly give it five out of five child stars." --Aparna Nancherla
