About 20 years ago, the New York public library assembled a list of books on the seven deadly sins.
One of which, of course, is sloth.
But if you’ve always been a little fuzzy about exactly what sloth is playwright essayist and satirist Wendy wasserstein to the rescue.
You may remember wasserstein best for her 1989 play The Heidi Chronicles, which won a Tony award and a Pulitzer prize.
Her 2005 book Sloth is a parody of self-help books, with detailed instructions on how you too can acquire sloth.
I interviewed Wendy several times, but this was the most fun one. So here now from 2005. Wendy Wasserstein.
Wendy Wasserstein died in 2006, She was 55.
