Writers Bloc presents Cathy GuisewiteEvery woman's favorite cartoon was Cathy. Now, Cathy Guisewite is back with terrific essays, drawings and stories.
The wonderful cartoon, “Cathy”, ran for 34 years in over 1400 newspapers across the country. Millions of women turned to “Cathy” first thing in the morning for her potent dose of satire, advice, commentary and wisdom on what it means to be a woman. She crossed generational lines and her cartoons were relevant to just about any woman, any age. “Cathy” made us laugh about diets, dating, family, struggles at the office, and just about every conceivable challenge a woman could and would face on a daily basis.
We can relax now because Cathy has come back, and we the reader enjoy a fuller take on her wit, wisdom and observation. Her new book, Fifty Things That Aren’t My Fault, is one of the most anticipated books of 2019, and touches on much of what Cathy our cartoon heroine dealt with, but with the benefit of great depth. In her new collection of essays, Cathy Guisewite moves the conversation towards what it means to be an aging woman, with aging parents, downsizing (in all sorts of ways), and a great deal more. Cathy Guisewite distilled so much about life into a cartoon panel or two with a few strokes of pencil and a great caption. In her new wonderful collection, imagine how much more she gives us to thing about, and to laugh at.

04-25-2019 Temple Emanuel of Beverly HillsWriters Bloc presents "Dear Therapist" columnist Lori Gottlieb
Writers Bloc presents "Dear Therapist" columnist Lori GottliebWhat happens when your therapist is falling apart too? The Atlantic's "Dear Therapist" takes us with her into her process of finding emotional strength.
Your therapist is listening to you, but what if she’s falling apart at the same time?
Perhaps you see a therapist, and discuss the core issues in your life, such as your partner, your job, your children, your self-esteem, you name it. Perhaps you feel as if your life is coming undone at the seams, or you can’t seem to make the right decisions. Perhaps you have so many unanswered questions, and you feel like you’re falling apart.
Best-selling author Lori Gottlieb (Stick Figure; Marry Him: The Case for Settling for Mr. Good Enough) is a therapist and the creator of the Dear Therapist advice column for The Atlantic. Like many therapists, she sees one herself. In her new book, Maybe You Should Talk to Someone, Lori takes us into her life, as she herself falls apart. We meet Boyfriend who coldly dumps her, we meet her funny kid, we meet relatable and fascinating patients, and we see troubling physical issues crop up as her anxiety mounts. Lori takes us with her as she goes through the difficult- and often really funny- process of trying to find the emotional steadiness and freedom Lori seeks. It’s funny, deeply revealing and moving.
