By Heather Havrilesky
I've been reading Havrilesky since she was a columnist for Suck.com. While I was looking over her official website, it appears her suck.com work has been dropped from her resume.
Havrilesky is great at discussing and poking fun of at challenges of first world problems. For example, Havrilesky wonders what would happen if someone asserted to Rosa Parks or MLK... "I believe in local, sustainable, organic food!" Some causes, even if they are noble, are a first world privilege embrace.
I hope that at some point in the future Havrilesky will write about modern, feminist stoicism. The essays in "What If This Were Enough?" suggest that she is heading in that direction.
