Why read it?
2 authors picked Fleabag as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
You can read a good screenplay with as much ease and pleasure as you read a novel, and the Fleabag scripts aren’t just good—they’re immaculate.
I pore over this book again and again, hoping that maybe this time I will see the trick, the moment of misdirection or sleight of hand that enables a story of profound personal pain—grief, loneliness, fear, they’re all here, all the big ones—to be so bloody funny. There is no trick, of course. There’s just flawless writing.
You should of course watch the TV show these scripts underpin, but do yourself a favour and read…
From Damien's list on funny but, y'know, good.
I bow at the scriptwriting throne of Waller-Bridge.
When I saw Fleabag on TV, I became obsessed with the relationship we formed with ‘Fleabag’ as she aimed many comments straight down the camera lens. The Scriptures reminds me of how, once again, you can find yourself laughing and crying simultaneously. The book ticks every box needed as a human: love, laughter, and tears.
From Lottie's list on to make you laugh and cry at the same time.
