IvyLife is delighted to host a special online conversation Wed. June 7 from 7-8:30 pm Eastern time, featuring two award-winning storytellers, novelist Elizabeth Benedict and celebrated documentary filmmaker Betsy West (RBG, Julia, Gabby Giffords Won’t Back Down), whose documentary about Ruth Bader Ginsburg was nominated for an Oscar.

The two women will explore Benedict’s unconventional, “often hilarious” memoir of illness, recovery and spirited resilience, Rewriting Illness: A View of My Own, already getting rave reviews since the book’s May 23rd launch.

Rewriting Illness, Benedict’s 8th book, has grabbed the attention of writers, doctors, therapists, and readers who appreciate the memoir’s humor, wisdom, and sheer entertainment. The Boston Globe calls it a “tragicomedy.” Journalist Thomas Beller says it reads “as though Nora Ephron had written a book called ‘I Feel Bad About My Tumor.'” And a Harvard Medical School professor says it should be required reading for medical students and physicians.
