- Cry for me, Argentina : my life as a failed child star / by Yajia, Tamara,author.;
"A hilarious, moving memoir by Argentine American comedian Tamara Yajia about growing up between two worlds. From the day she was born, Tamara Yajia entered the world on a wave of absurdity. She was the newest member of a family no one would call normal, from her grandfather the salami-obsessed poppers salesman, to her mother, the OnlyFans model. Not only will her family try anything once, like moving to the United States and opening a food stand named Sexy Chicken; they'll try anything multiple times, like moving back to Argentina, then back to the United States, all while Tamara manages to achieve some success as a preteen child actress after a jaw-dropping performance where she strips down to a garter belt in front of a crowd of rabbis. The road doesn't get easier for a twelve-year-old Argentinian Jew trying to make it big in Orange County. The disappointment of giving up her childhood career as a performer makes for a rather tumultuous coming of age. But through grit, hustle, and a series of creative endeavors like joining a girl band, and performing her own one-woman show, Cumming of Age, Tam has made it through, and she's ready to spill some shit -- figuratively and literally. Featuring an unlikely combination of comedy and tragedy, generational struggle, and filthy sex jokes, Tamara Yajia's debut memoir is the blazing, heartfelt story of a family's courage to chase a better tomorrow, and a young woman trying to survive while holding on to her confidence, ambition, and sense of humor"--Dust jacket flap.- Subjects: Biographies.; Autobiographies.; Personal narratives.; Yajia, Tamara.; Actors; Women comedians;
