Bøker av Wendy Wasserstein

Wasserstein, who won a Pulitzer Prize and a Tony Award for The Heidi Chronicles, writes of three Jewish middle-aged sisters-Sara, Gorgeous, and Pfeni-who come together in London to celebrate Sara's birthday. Winner of the Outer Critics Circle Award. Photographs.

When three Brooklyn-born Jewish women - Sara, Pfeni and Gorgeous meet up to celebrate Sara's 54th birthday, reawakened familial bonds cause them to confront the past and her future. But the reunion is interupted by Merv, a furrier who takes a shine to Sara.

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.
