One of the writers and producers of the hit HBO dramatic show Six Feet Under, comedienne
Jill Soloway, is offering her pithy observations about life, love, dysfunctional families and Hollywood shenanigans in the piquantly titled memoir
Why Jews Go to the Bathroom with the Door Open. Free Press senior editor
Amy Scheibe swiftly preempted the book from
Daniel Greenberg at Levine Greenberg, buying North American, first serial and audio rights, and will publish in fall next year. The prolific Soloway has worked on numerous TV sitcoms, produces a biweekly live comedy show in L.A., and adapted David Sedaris's Me Talk Pretty One Day for the movies.
