Comedian Carol Leifer is an Emmy-nominated writer and producer for her work on such television shows as Seinfeld, The Larry Sanders Show and Saturday Night Live. Now, she has penned her first book, When You Lie About Your Age, the Terrorists Win: Reflections on Looking in the Mirror (Villard Books), described as “a laugh-out-loud look at life, love and family.” Through her own unique brand of humor, Leifer shares her personal journey. “I see now that when you deny your age, you deny yourself,” she writes. “And when you life about your age, you become your inauthentic twin. But most importantly, when you lie about your age, they win. (And of course, by ‘they,’ I mean the terrorists.)” — E.E.
