Join us for lunch with friends and this incredible memoir.
After an unexpected Stage 4 cancer diagnosis, author, actor and longtime cultural commentator Annabelle Gurwitch brings her signature wit and honesty to a deeply personal reflection on life. Known for her acclaimed essays and television work, Gurwitch rejects the label of “cancer warrior,” instead calling herself a “cancer slacker” as she searches for meaning beyond illness. With sharp humor and insight, she explores chronic illness, healthcare inequities and everyday joys, offering a moving meditation on resilience, identity and finding humor and grace in life’s most uncertain moments.
Advanced registration required by October 26.
