Heather Havrilesky

Heather Havrilesky es el autor de How to Be a Person in the World and the memoir Disaster Preparedness. She is a columnist for Nueva York magazine, and has written for El neoyorquino, The Atlantic, La Revista New York Times, and NPR’s Todo Considerado, among others. She was Salon’s TV critic for seven years. Her latest book, What If This Were Enough: Essays? (Doubleday), is an impassioned collection tackling our obsession with self-improvement and urging readers to embrace the imperfections of the everyday. Through her incisive and witty inquiries, Havrilesky urges us to reject the pursuit of a shiny, shallow future that will never come. These timely, provocative, and often hilarious essays suggest an embrace of the flawed, a connection with what already is, who we already are, what we already have. She asks us to consider: What if this were enough? Our salvation, Havrilesky says, can be found right here, right now, in this imperfect moment.
