![]() Pulling from the BAFTA winner’s emotional 2018 Edinburgh Festival MacTaggart lecture, where she spoke about the beauty of “misfits,” the book will also touch on the same subjects as her award-winning TV shows. “The misfit doesn’t climb in pursuit of safety or profit, she climbs to tell stories, she gets off the ladder and onto the swings swinging back and forth, sometimes aggressively, sometimes standing up on the swing, back and forth, in pursuit of only transparency, observing the changes, but wonders if these changes are taking place within a faulty system,” she said in her lecture. Coel “makes a compelling case for radical honesty” and “greater transparency,” according to the publisher. The Chewing Gum and I May Destroy You star will recount personal anecdotes from her life and career, detailing her path to owning her strength and creativity. Misfits: A Personal Manifesto, her debut book, is set to be simultaneously published in the United Kingdom and the United States this September. Michaela Coel is writing something else that will very likely destroy you. ![]() ![]() Photo: Ian West/PA Images via Getty Images ![]()
