702 Surviving Cancer: Evan Handler

Twelve years ago, we spoke with actor Evan Handler about his fascinating book Time on Fire: My Comedy of Terrors. It described his battle with acute myeloid leukemia in his early 20s.

Since that time, Evan Handler has won acclaim as an actor both in movies and on television. He may be best-known for his portrayal of Harry Goldenblatt in the popular TV series, Sex and the City, and he is currently starring in Californication. But he should be just as well-known as an author. His book, It’s Only Temporary: The Good News and the Bad News of Being Alive, is an exploration of how being cured of cancer has affected his outlook on life.

Guest: Evan Handler is a well-known actor, currently appearing in the hit series Californication on Showtime. His most recent book is It’s Only Temporary: The Good News and the Bad News of Being Alive. His Web site, www.evanhandler.com, has information on his current book tour.
