In this delicious book of essays, Wendy Wasserstein perfects the urbane, wacky and compassionate sensibility that informed plays like her Pulitzer Prize-winning The Heidi Chronicles
Wendy Wasserstein Bücher
Wendy Wasserstein war eine gefeierte amerikanische Dramatikerin, deren Werk sich oft auf das Leben und die Erfahrungen moderner Frauen konzentrierte. Ihre Stücke erforschten häufig Themen wie Identität, Ehrgeiz und gesellschaftliche Erwartungen mit Witz und Empathie. Wasserstein fing meisterhaft die Komplexität menschlicher Beziehungen und die Suche nach Sinn im gegenwärtigen Leben ein.
Sloth is a parody of every self-improvement book: instead of providing a manual to a more active and productive lifestyle, Wasserstein offers tips, encouragement and advice toward a successful life of sloth.

Imagine what a dictionary might look like about thirty years hence, when all of the world's problems are solved and our current dictionaries are a distant memory. Dave Eggers, Jonathan Safran Foer and Nicole Krauss have lined up an incredible array of writers to bring you that futuristic dictionary and a vision of the world as it might be. Think of it as a dictionary of language for describing what the future could look like a dictionary that is both useful and romantic, hopeful and necessary, pragmatic and idealistic, and frequently funny. This is science fiction but with a difference.
