Ellen Degeneres once again turns her attention to the written word, spinning simple observations into imaginative essays, mixing her trademark self-deprecating wit with a smart sophistication perfectly tailored for the page.
Here Ellen offers riffs on everything from why a prison stay might not be so bad to a eulogy for her coffee addiction; from her memories of a visit to God's house to how salespeople have figured out that saying "It makes your ass look fabulous!" will get you to buy just about anything.
Whimsical, clever, and always spot-on observant, 'The Funny Thing Is . . . ' is a satisfying follow-up to Ellen's smash hit bestseller - a collection that perfectly captures the brilliance of this comic supernova.
