Lori Gottlieb • Maybe You Should Talk to Someone
Now included in
the Greater Naples
Jewish Book Festival
Lori Gottlieb is a psychotherapist and New York Times
bestselling author who writes The Atlantic’s weekly “Dear
Therapist” advice column. She also writes for The New York
Times, and appears as a frequent expert on relationships,
parenting and hot-button mental health topics in media such
as The Today Show, Good Morning America, CBS This
Morning, CNN and NPR. Her book Maybe You Should Talk
to Someone is in development for a television series at ABC.
Learn more at LoriGottlieb.com.
A hilarious, thought-provoking and surprising new book – from a New York
Times bestselling author, psychotherapist and national advice columnist – takes
us behind the scenes of a therapist’s world, where her patients are looking
for answers (and so is she). One day, Lori Gottlieb is a therapist who helps
patients in her Los Angeles practice. The next, a crisis causes her world to
come crashing down. As Gottlieb explores the inner chambers of her patients’
lives, she finds that the questions they are struggling with are the very ones
she is asking. With startling wisdom and humor, Gottlieb invites us into her
world as both clinician and patient – examining the truths and fictions we tell
ourselves and others as we teeter on the tightrope between love and desire,
meaning and mortality, guilt and redemption, terror and courage, hope and
change. The book is a boldly revealing portrait of what it means to be human,
and a disarmingly funny and illuminating account of our own mysterious lives
and our power to transform them.

Salvador Dali, the Marx Brothers
and the Strangest Movie Never Made –
a multimedia and musical presentation
Josh Frank • Giraffes on Horseback Salad
Giraffes on Horseback Salad was a Marx Brothers film, written by modern art icon
Salvador Dali who had befriended Harpo. Rejected by MGM, the script was thought lost
forever. But author Josh Frank found it and, with comedian
Tim Heidecker and Spanish comics creator Manuela Pertega,
he has recreated the film as a graphic novel in all its gorgeous,
full-color, cinematic, surreal glory. It is the story of two
unlikely friends – a Jewish superstar film icon and Spanish
painter – and the movie that could have been.
Josh Frank is a writer, producer, director and composer. He’s
the author of Fool the World: The Oral History of a Band
Called Pixies and In Heaven Everything Is Fine; and coauthor
of the illustrated novel The Good Inn. Frank has worked
with some of the most interesting and innovative musicians,
filmmakers, producers and artists in the industry. He has interviewed
over 200 of America’s most notable names in entertainment for his books and
screenplays. Giraffes on Horseback Salad is his 4 th book and second illustrated novel.
