I’ll Seize the Day Tomorrow One on One with Jonathan Goldstein

Jonathan Goldstein is one of today’s most original and intelligent comic voices. He has done for radio what Larry David has done for television. And in his new book he proves, once again, that his wry, self-deprecating observations work just as well on the page.

I’ll Seize the Day Tomorrow is the story of Jonathan Goldstein’s journey to find some great truth on his road to forty. Join the bestselling author and the host of CBC’s WireTap as he recounts the highs and lows of his last year in his thirties. Throughout the year, Goldstein asks weighty questions that would stump all but the most accomplished philosophers. For example: Can we replace extending an olive leaf with extending an olive jar? How much wisdom can we glean from episodes of Welcome Back, Kotter? Don’t miss the thrills as Goldstein eats, sleeps, and watches bad TV all the way to his date with destiny.
