We all need a good laugh at any time -- but being stuck at home during a virus and sweltering heat -- it seems to be more necessary.
Andy Horowitz curated 50 of the most prolific funny people and their stories. The collection spans from Mark Twain, to Lenny Bruce, and finishes with more contemporary writers like George Saunders. The collection shares stories of childhood, politics, relationships, science, and writing itself.
All of the events that make up life are explored by people like me. They are people who lock themselves in a small room for around six hours, to only write for one of those hours and be distracted for the other five.

The 50 Funniest American Writer can be found at any major book seller.
