Synopsis

Wildly funny musings from an eighty-three-year-old TikTok sensation.

“Understated” and “tasteful” could never be applied to Annie, and that’s just fine with her. A colorful actress with a decades-long career in TV, film, and theater—including a recurring role on Seinfeld and a center-stage spot touring with The Moth—Annie offers her trademark unabashed
takes on both everyday and typically taboo topics. Whether she’s sharing her thoughts on the miracle of childbirth (“It’s a miracle that anyone who’s been through it is willing to do it again”), religion (“William Shakespeare was not Jewish; no Jew could write a play called All’s Well That Ends
Well”), motherhood, or any other topic, Annie will have you laughing out loud.

Underlying the humor are poignant observations that feel particularly relevant today: the importance of kindness and consideration, how we’re all more alike than different, and the freedom to be found in self-acceptance. You’ll put down this book feeling not just lighter but inspired
by Annie’s wisdom and insight, gathered over eight decades.

Whether you’re seeking raw authenticity in an Insta-perfect world, advice from the grandmother you wish you had, or just a laugh to lighten the load of daily life, The Book of Annie is just the ticket.

Goodreads review by Bonnie on October 21, 2023

I wasn't going to read The Book of Annie, but I am glad I did. At times offensive, at others absolutely laugh out loud funny. Ms Korzen writes what some of us are thinking. She has insights that are at times thought provoking and puts different things in a new light. I came to think of her as the ou......more

Well organized with philosophical musings on a wide variety of subjects like parenting, aging, working, and so on. Made me laugh out loud in places. Annie follows her dictum to keep her prose simple and straightfor......more
