After Never Mind the Happy
Shy by Mary Rodgers and Jesse Green
If you loved Shaiman's raconteur swagger and backstage honesty, Shy delivers that same insider energy—Mary Rodgers and Jesse Green trade self-deprecating quips across the margins, turning memoir into master class without losing the glee or the grind. It's unsentimental, affectionate, and packed with the process wisdom craft-minded readers crave: collaboration etiquette, killing darlings, and why longevity taxes matter more than opening-night champagne.
