Agorafabulous! Dispatches Fom My Bedroom
Out now from William Morrow/HarperCollins
Order my book on Amazon , Barnes and Noble, Powells, you fucking scamps. I highly recommend buying it at your local independent bookstore. Then also buy some coffee there, and maybe an oversize ginger cookie baked by some hippie the shop owner hatefucks on occasion.
I'll be doing a book tour, possibly with a stop in YOUR city. Check out the full list of events here.
Here’s more info from the publisher:
From a “freaking hilarious" (Newsweek.com) comedian comes this funny, raw, and poignant account of her battle with agorophobia—how a terrified young woman literally trapped by her own imagination evolved into a (relatively) high-functioning professional smartass.
