The Wig Diaries is Mary Ladd's irreverent cancer book. Ladd is neither phased by existential gloom, nor delicate sympathy. Through no-nonsense revelations, Ladd's bold use of black humor makes her diagnosis refreshingly approachable. The Wig Diaries intimately addresses the gravity of cancer, inviting the reader to bear witness to both the horror, and the joke(s).

About the Author
Don Asmussen created Bad Reporter, a twice-weekly political comic strip in the San Francisco Chronicle that runs under the slogan "The lies behind the truth, and the truth behind those lies that are behind that truth" and is syndicated by Universal Press Syndicate.He was born in Rhode Island and worked at the Portland Press Herald, The Detroit News, The San Diego Union-Tribune, and Time Magazine before joining the San Francisco Chronicle in 1997, where he created short comic serials while on location covering events including the Super Bowl, the World Series, and the Burning Man festival. His strip, The Hero Santon, appeared on Salon.com and in Mad Magazine.
Josh Korwin has been running Three Steps Ahead, a creative design studio, since the late 1990s. He has been a typography nerd for as long as he can remember, and rabidly collects (and sometimes sells) just about everything with neat type or lettering on it. While graphic design and web design fill most of his days, he dabbles in photography and letterpress printing.
