Zusatztext "You Say Tomato! I Say Shut Up: A Love Story shows how hectic! hard and hilarious married life can be. Spanning friendship! courtship! marriage and parenthood! Annabelle Gurwitch and Jeff Kahn’s "he said/she said" memoir at times reads like a mix of couples therapy and "Real World" confessionals for grown-ups. Only funnier and heavier.”—The Washington Post “This book is a must-read for couples and singles alike. Finally! a married couple that doesn't hide behind such tedious traits as personal loyalty! good taste! and an overall sense of decorum. You Say Tomato! I Say Shut Up tells people what marriage is really like!”—Liz Tucillo! co-author of He’s Just Not That Into You and author of How to Be Single “So funny because it is so accurate. Kahn and Gurwitch illuminate the insanity of marriage. They make you want to embrace your spouse for the same reason you want to strangle them.”—Ben Stiller “Although after eleven and a half years of pure! uninterrupted marital bliss I don’t relate at all to the subject matter! I still found Jeff and Annabelle’s book to be hilarious.”—Judd Apatow “As someone who has never married or ever understood why anyone would!would! I feel I can say with authority that this is the finest! funniest! most insightful book I’ve ever read about a subject I’m completely unqualified to comment about.”—Bill Maher “The far right believes that marriage should only be one man plus one woman. But they are oh so wrong. Marriage should only be between two funny people! and Jeff and Annabelle are the shining examples of this new marriage movement.”—Carol Leifer “Damn! marriage isn’t supposed to be this much fun! If anyone is going to save marriage! it won’t be James Dobson—it’ll be Annabelle Gurwitch and Jeff Kahn.”—Barbara Ehrenreich! author of Nickel and Dimed “Oh! now I get it. This whole sham of a marriage was not just for tax purposes! it was also to write and sell this immediately engaging book! I remember when Jeff first told me about Annabelle and the hazy! humid thermal cloud she wrapped his head in. I thought he was nuts. Turns out I was right (see pages 1–250). After reading this book! I feel sorry for both of them now. And that’s quite an accomplishment.”—David Cross! author of I Drink for a Reason “He said tomato! she said shut up! and I took a Vicodin to ease the pain from laughing so hard.” —Sandra Tsing Loh! author of Mother on Fire and A Year in Van Nuys "We're just not that into us."--Annabelle Gurwitch and Jeff Kahn Informationen zum Autor ANNABELLE GURWITCH is an actress and writer, best known for her years cohosting Dinner and a Movie on TBS and her Fired! book and documentary film.
