EXIT LAUGHING: How Humor Takes the Sting Out of Death
Publication Date: May 8, 2012
Malachy McCourt writes about what REALLY happened to Angela's Ashes. Jacquelyn Mitchard shares how, after her husband's wake, his three closest friends are held by security guards in the local mental hospital. Author/actor Michael Tucker tells us about his last visit with his dying friend, Cleavon Little. Wait until you read Ellen Sussman's piece about accompanying her mother's casket home...and the first thing off the baggage turnstile is her mother's bra. And Kathi Kamen Goldmark's essay about playing the kazoo at Jessica Mitford's memorial service. These, and nineteen other exceptional writers, share their poignant, memorable, and sometimes hilarious experiences of how humor helped them through difficult times.

What happens when you realize that your picture-perfect boyfriend is a liar and a bully? Or when you dedicate your life to someone who suddenly orders you to pack your bags and leave? What does it feel like when your brother tells you he's gay? Imagine attending an international conference on women's rights, only to discover that nearly every right has been trampled ... and things at home aren't going so well, either! Funny, provocative, touching, thrilling, He Said What? illustrates the powerful impact the right, or wrong, words can have on our lives. Contributing authors include: Barbara Abercrombie, Beverly Donofrio, Margot Duxler, Amy Ferris, Abby Frucht, BJ Gallagher, Jane Ganahl, Bonnie Garvin, Sherry Glaser-Love, Kathi Kamen Goldmark, Rose Guilbault, Pam Houston, Carrie Kabak, Caroline Leavitt, Maxinne Leighton, Joyce Maynard, Christine O’Hagan, Mary Pols, Karen Quinn, Dianne Rinehart, Colleen Robinson, Jenny Rough, Clea Simon, Starhawk, Victoria Zackheim.
