I CURSE YOU WITH JOY

Tiffany Haddish is an actor, a comedian, and a lover of humans. She's proven that when the world hands you your lowest lows, a combination of creativity and comedy can turn it all around. A masterful storyteller, her first book, The Last Black Unicorn, was a New York Times Bestseller. Her new book, I CURSE YOU WITH JOY, goes deeper.

Since The Last Black Unicorn, Tiffany has catapulted to A-List fame as the breakout star of Girls Trip. She's walked the Oscars red carpet, released a hit stand-up special with Netflix, and made history as the first Black female comedian to host Saturday Night Live and Shark Week. But it hasn't been all VIP parties and free-diving with apex predators. In these humorous and heartfelt essays, Tiffany gets real about the highs and lows of life. She reckons with the legacy of her childhood trauma, the challenges of being a Black woman in the entertainment industry, her infertility issues, and her bittersweet reunion with her estranged father after twenty years apart. And don't worry, she's got plenty of advice to share too. As a flawed and imperfect person - just like every one of us - she knows she alone cannot save the world, but she's determined to make a difference by sharing her journey with others.

Tiffany is someone readers will fall in love with on the page regardless of whether they have seen her films and stand-up. She is your casually cool, down-to-earth, "it" girl. Her effortless joie de vivre is something readers will want to carry with them. As Tiffany shows in these essays, feeling the intensity of the highs and lows can be a curse, but the ability to find joy wherever you find yourself can grant you a greater perspective overall.

I CURSE YOU WITH JOY is for readers who love Ali Wong's Dear Girls and Samatha Irby's Wow, No Thank You. These essays lay it all bare, bringing readers into Tiffany's inner circle where joy, honesty, humor, and heart are the order of the day.
