Karen Karbo
Karen Karbo is a witty and profound commentator on the human condition.
Karen Karbo is a funny woman who is the author of three novels – Trespassers Welcome Here, The Diamond Lane and Motherhood Made a Man Out of Me -- all of which were named New York Times Notable Books. Her latest book is How to Hepburn: Lessons on Living from Kate the Great. In the words of her publisher, the book teases some unexpected lessons from the life of a woman whose freewheeling, pants-wearing determination redefined the image of the independent woman while eventually endearing her to the world. This witty, provocative gem is full of no-nonsense Hepburn-style commentary on subjects such as: making denial work for you; the importance of being brash, facing fear, and always having an aviator in your life…. Karbo presents a gusty guidebook to harnessing your inner Hepburn, and living life on your own terms. In a different vein, The Stuff of Life, about caring for her father during the last year of his life, was a People Magazine Critic's Choice, a selection of the Satellite Sisters Radio Book Club, a winner of the Oregon Book Award for Creative Nonfiction, and also a Times Notable Book.
