    About this ebook

    Irreverent, raunchy, and unflinchingly real. Amy Schumer, the crass but candid comic who bares her strong but still charmingly relatable soul to millions of fans has become the breakout comedienne of her generation. Now, the Trainwreck star and stand-up juggernaut is profiled like never before in this groundbreaking and brisk biography from bestselling author Ian Fineman. From the tragedies of Amy's youth that shaped her spirit, to the unfaltering resolve to remain "real" at time when affectation rules the day, Fineman's incisive work goes inside the real Amy Schumer to depths never before exposed. Don't wait for The Girl with The Lower Back Tattoo. See Amy as never before in this must-read work for fans of the film and television star.
