Summary
Zibby speaks to comedian, co-creator and co-star of the hit series Catastrophe, and New York Times bestselling author Rob Delaney about his harrowing and brave new memoir A Heart That Works (a New Yorker and USA Today Best Book of 2022). Rob shares the intimate details of his story–his son Henry’s brain tumor and death, his brother-in-law’s suicide, and his profound grief and desire to share it on paper. He also talks about his demanding acting career, learning to balance work and family, the charities he is supporting with his book sales, and the brilliant books that have inspired and comforted him through it all.
