Amy Schumer writes memoir and comic essays about family, relationships, sex, work and the experiences behind her public comedy. The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo combines autobiographical chapters with shorter reflections on dating, her childhood, her parents, body image, sexual assault and the development of her career in stand-up. The tone shifts between jokes and serious personal material rather than maintaining a single comic register throughout. Schumer's published prose is closely connected with her stage and screen persona, so readers familiar with her comedy will recognise the blunt sexual humour and willingness to make herself part of the joke. The book fits celebrity memoir, comic essays and personal writing about contemporary womanhood. The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo is the main book-length entry for readers interested in the experiences and family history behind her comedy rather than a collection of scripted stand-up material.
