In the Form of a Question: The Joys and Rewards of a Curious Life by Amy Schneider is a humorous queer memoir. I listened to the audiobook, which is narrated by the author.
The most successful woman ever to compete on Jeopardy explores what it means to ask questions of the world and of yourself. After a forty-game winning streak she walked away with $1.3 million, all while being fully herself on national television: openly queer and transgender.
As a fellow queer and neurodiverse elder millennial, I identify with Amy in a lot of ways, so I feel like I’m a bullseye for the target audience of this memoir. I’ve always been someone who asks “why” a lot. I have been ever since I was young, when I’d read the encyclopedia if I got bored. Heck, she’s even into tarot and astrology for the same reasons I am and thinks Daria is one of the best cartoons ever created.
Amy is VERY funny, or at least she and I share the same kind of humor. I laughed out loud many times while listening to the audiobook (which I was glad to see she narrates!) that I spooked my kittens from their naps.
I received a copy of this book to review. Thank you to Simon & Schuster Audio via LibroFM! All opinions contained herein are my own.
