title: My Life as a Goddess: A Memoir through (Un)Popular Culture
author:  Guy Branum 
description: Guy Branum is one of the funniest men I know.He is smart, fast, clever, and funny! (As f*ck!) Go ahead and buy his book cuz.......he ready!<b>Tiffany Haddish</b><br /><br />Its often enough for a comedian to be very funny. Guy Branum not only makes you laugh out loud; his perspective is singular, genuinely ballsy, and essential. Many comedians are praised for saying things most of us think but are too scared to say. Guy says the things we weren't smart enough to think of in the first place.<b>Billy Eichner</b><br /><br />Empowering, funny, and so incredibly different from anything youve ever read, Guy Branum's memoir made me laugh, it made me cry, and it made me very jealous. No one else but him could write something this extraordinary.<b>Ali Wong</b><br /><br />Guy Branum knows everything. A lot of people are funny, though few are as funny as Guy, but his intellectual curiosity and moral sure-footedness make him not just a comic but a lifeline. Long live our Patron Saint of Too Much.<b>Lindy West</b><br /><br />Guy Branum is a force of nature. Hes written a book that is generous and withering, hilarious and precisely observed, putting his incredible talent toward trying to understand what it means to feel apart from the world. I wish I could give this book to the 14-year-old version of myself, who probably wouldnt have appreciated how much he needed it. Youll devour every story and be struck by how lucky we all are to have Guys gay voice. Just buy this f*cking book, you idiots.<b></b><b>Jon Lovett</b><br /><br />Keenly observant and intelligent, Branum's book not only offers uproarious insights into walking paths less traveled, but also into what self-acceptance means in a world still woefully intolerant of difference. Wickedly smart, funny, and witty.<b><i>Kirkus Reviews</i> (starred review)</b><br /><br />"An incisive and witty memoir." <b><i>Publishers Weekly</i></b><br /><br />In his unusually introspective and entertaining memoir, Mr. Branum reveals himself as a trenchant, surprising critic.<b><i>New York Times</i></b><br /><br />This could have been a typical Hollywood memoir: the story of someone triumphantly making it from one side of the television screen to the other. But Guy has rarely fit the expectations thrust upon him. This book is no different  and is all the better for it. Instead, readers get a tour of his life and the pop culture landscape with one of the funniest and wittiest tour guides in town.<b><i>Lambda Literary</i></b><br /><br />As funny as it is poignant.<b> BuzzFeed</b>
