Ready for a good laugh? New York Times bestselling author Annabelle Gurwitch returns to Greenwich by popular demand on Tuesday, May 9 beginning at 10am for a book talk with JCC Greenwich.
Come and hear the wild stories she'll tell from "Wherever You Go, There They Are" (Blue Rider Press), a hysterically funny and slyly insightful new collection of essays about her own family of scam artists and hucksters, as well as the sisterhoods, temporary tribes, communities, and cults who have become surrogates along the way.
Annabelle Gurwitch is an actress and the author of "Wherever You Go, There They Are";" I See You Made an Effort" (a New York Times bestseller and Thurber Prize finalist); "You Say Tomato, I Say Shut Up" (coauthored with Jeff Kahn), and "Fired!" (which was also a Showtime Comedy Special). Gurwitch gained a loyal following during her stint cohosting "Dinner and a Movie" on TBS and years as a regular commentator on NPR. She’s written for The New Yorker, The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and The Hollywood Reporter. Gurwitch was the new anchor on HBO’s "Not Necessarily the News" and hosted "WA$TED" on Planet Green network. Her acting credits include Seinfeld, Boston Legal, Dexter, and Melvin Goes to Dinner. A veteran of many lauded and even more misguided theatrical productions, she regularly performs at arts centers around the country. Gurwitch is a Jewish mother, a reluctant atheist, and an ardent environmentalist. She is empty-nesting in Los Angeles.
The event will take place at Back 40 Kitchen, 107 Greenwich Ave
