Can’t get enough of Miriam “Midge” Maisel’s comedy antics? After you tear through the third season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, keep the laughs going with some literature that has a similar vibe. And if you’re just tuning in, Mrs. Maisel follows an aspiring female comic in the late 1950s and early 1960s in New York City. Created by Amy Sherman Palladino (best known for bringing the Gilmore Girls to our small screens), you can expect snappy dialogue, lush period costumes, and a poignant exploration of what it means to be a woman and a comedian before the age of the Netflix special. Channel that energy while you wait for a season four premiere by checking out these books like Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.
