Quick Take

Straight journalism and humor come together on the same stage when author Olivia Gentile talks about her biography of a birder, and her husband, comedian, Andy Borowitz, talks about his new satire book, "Who Moved My Soap? The CEO's Guide to Surviving in Prison."

Editorial Review

Normally, we wouldn't write about a biography of a bird-watcher, but when it's one-half of a stand-up comedy routine, well, that's different. Maybe that's why Gentile, who wrote the true story of housewife-turned-world-adventurer Phoebe Snetsinger is sharing the spotlight with her husband, comedian Andy Borowitz. The satirist is known for his pieces in the New Yorker and the Huffington Post and for writing episodes of "The Facts of Life" and "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air." Riffing on his humor book, Borowitz will do a comedy bit on Bernie Madoff, and then he'll interview his wife about her book. Ask them about their marriage, their writing habits and irony at the bookstore.
