Dispatches from My Bedroom

About this book

"A blisteringly funny yet affecting debut memoir about a young woman's struggle to overcome panic disorder and agoraphobia." — Kirkus Reviews

Comedian, writer, blogger, radio and podcast host, and YouTube sensation, Sara Benincasa bravely and outrageously brings us "Dispatches from My Bedroom" in one of the funniest and most poignant books ever written about a mental illness.

Agorafabulous! is a hilarious, raw, and unforgettable account of how a terrified young woman, literally trapped by her own imagination, evolved into a (relatively) high-functioning professional smartass. Down to earth and seriously funny, Benincasa's no-holds-barred revelations offer readers the politically incorrect hilarity they heartily crave, yet is so often missing from your typical, weepy, and redemptive personal memoir.

"Sara is extremely funny and should have many books out so we can all read them and laugh." —Margaret Cho

"Sara's comedy is uplifting, deeply personal, and very funny. As difficult as her agoraphobia is to manage, she's pulled through it beautifully." —Rob Delaney

"With storytelling that is hilarious, honest, raw, and absurd, Agorafabulous! puts you in the body and mind of an extraordinary individual who accepts and embraces her full self." — New York Times –bestselling author Baratunde Thurston
