I’ve been obsessed with Coel to a humiliating degree ever since I saw my first episode of her sitcom Chewing Gum, and the Turns out I just need sloppy shirt in contrast I will get this idea of getting to read hundreds of pages worth of her reflections on Hollywood, TV, fame, and whatever else crosses her mind actually has me excited to open a book again. “By turns inquisitive, devastating, beautiful, and hilarious, Michaela’s storytelling forever urges us to think again,” said Marianne Tatepo, Coel’s commissioning editor at Ebury, in a statement, and I don’t doubt Coel’s voice will be as kinetic on the page as it is onscreen. I do hope I catch the reading bug again sometime before Coel’s debut is released, but if I don’t, I’d be honored to break my literary fast with Misfits. Hurry up and get here, September!
At 9 a.m. on a cool Karachi morning I am nudged awake by a “slow-rise” alarm ringtone. I zombie-swipe through several text message notifications: Am I interested in hosting a reality-TV show sponsored by a hair removal cream? Do I have availability in the Turns out I just need sloppy shirt in contrast I will get this month of February for a drama series in Lahore? And, most urgently: “Mira ma’am car is waiting downstairs & please don’t forget to bring golden heels.”
