How to Turn Your Most Mortifying Moments into a Bestseller

Published 2 years, 10 months ago
Description

Humorist Samantha Irby has made a career out of oversharing, from her start as a blogger in Chicago’s lit scene to becoming a New York Times bestselling essayist. Her new collection “Quietly Hostile” spins personal horrors like bathroom emergencies and mortifying dates into comedy gold that makes readers feel less alone. Irby talks with host Jacoby Cochran about why her stories resonate and her advice for younger writers looking to do the same.


Irby will be talking about her new collection at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Mundelein Auditorium in Rogers Park.
