GOTHAM GIRL INTERRUPTED

A #1 debut on AMAZON

Published by Imagine!/Penguin Random House

“Nora Ephron and Allie Brosh fans take note: Alisa Jones’s memoir in comedic essays GOTHAM GIRL INTERRUPTED is smart stand-up comedy about the power of falling down. From irreverent New York City blogger Alisa Kennedy Jones comes an account of her “misadventures in motherhood, love, and epilepsy” that James Patterson calls “smart, harrowing, heart-warming, and very funny.”

What do Da Vinci, Agatha Christie, and Alisa Kennedy Jones all have in common? One guess—ecstatic epilepsy. In this hilarious and moving dispatch from the frontlines of neurodiversity. Jones chronicles life with these terrifying yet beautiful grand mal seizures. Characteristic of Jones’s condition are attacks that leave her with what Zen Buddhists sometimes refer to as a “beginner’s mind”: a vast, open expanse of headspace, coupled with a creative euphoria.

With bracing candor and humility, Jones describes living with a chronic illness, single motherhood, and her day-to-day life as a hapless writer in Manhattan. Above all, Jones reminds us to fight the battle for becoming who we are supposed to be—no matter how much crashing around you have to do to get there.”

A #1 new release on Amazon, GOTHAM GIRL INTERRUPTED is available everywhere books are sold as well as on Bookshop.org, IndieBound, and Barnes & Noble.
