Wendy Wasserstein Livres

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.

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

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.
