About this episode

Zibby Owens interviews bestselling author Annabelle Gurwitch about her new book and her experiences with humor and lung cancer.

I’ve been a fan of actress and bestselling author  Annabelle Gurwitch  since I first read  You Say Tomato, I Say Shut Up. I’ve interviewed her on my podcast about her last book  You’re Leaving When?  and then got lucky enough to publish her new book,  The End of My Life is Killing Me  through Zibby Publishing — which has now been on the  USA Today  bestseller list for two weeks! You might have seen Annabelle lately because she has been all over the media with shout-outs from and interviews with  Bill Maher ,  Drew Barrymore ,  Terry Gross at NPR , and Jenna Fischer. The book is hilarious and heartbreaking, fast-paced, thought-provoking, and a must-read. Hear from Annabelle and me at Totally Booked: Live in New York.  Hosted on Acast.
