Heather Havrilesky

    Heather Havrilsky píše s jedinečnou směsicí ironie a upřímnosti o složitosti lidské existence. Její práce se ponořuje do hlubin každodenního života a odhaluje absurditu, krásu a nepředvídatelnost toho, jak být člověkem. Prostřednictvím pronikavých postřehů a bystrého pozorovacího talentu nám Havrilsky pomáhá navigovat v nepořádku světa s humorem a soucitem. Její psaní je svědectvím o naší společné snaze najít smysl a spojení v často chaotickém světě.

      "Through her incisive and witty inquiries, Havrilesky urges us to reject the pursuit of a shiny, shallow future that will never come. From the allure of materialism to our misunderstandings of romance and success, Havrilesky deconstructs some of the most poisonous and misleading messages we ingest today, all the while suggesting new ways to navigate our increasingly bewildering world."--Page 4 of cover
