Comedian and radio host Sara Benincasa's struggle with panic disorder began with childhood panic attacks and intensified until she developed agoraphobia so severe that, at the age of twenty-one, she was afraid to leave her own bedroom and sank into a suicidal depression. Garbage piled up against the wall as her appetite for food -- and life -- faded away. She squatted over cereal bowls and coffee mugs to relieve herself, too frightened even to enter her own bathroom. Left unchecked, her illness had nearly consumed her when friends and family intervened to help her build a new world from the ashes of her former life. Today, Sara is an internationally touring comedian and a radio host, but her present life would have been inconceivable to that frightened, stick-thin 21-year-old woman crouching in the dark.

Sara's writing is unpretentious, her insights are earthy and relatable, and she's really, really funny. Agorafabulous! speaks to readers who long for the type of politically incorrect hilarity so often lacking in the typical self-serious, weepy memoir.
