Growing up awkward in the ’80s

gulman-misfitFans of 1980s nostalgia and coming-of-age stories will find lots to like in Misfit (Flatiron Books/Macmillan, 2023), a memoir written by comedian Gary Gulman, who graduated from Boston College in 1993. In Misfit, Gulman takes readers through his school-age years, with stories about his family, neighbors, teachers, heroes, antagonists, and, generally, about being an awkward kid in the suburbs of Boston in the 1980s. Gulman, who has performed his comedy on numerous late night TV talk shows, is the creator of the acclaimed HBO comedy special, “The Great Depresh.” He spoke about his book on “Late Night With Seth Meyers” and ABC’s “Good Morning America” and with Vanity Fair, among other media outlets.
