We Need Our Diversions! A weekend diversion from the social work world. Here is unequivocally, unambiguously, without a doubt, 100% certain, the best writing on television you will find. The writer is Heather Havrilesky. "What?!" (I can hear you now.) "I don't watch television!" Well, neither does Heather, exactly. She sort of grabs it out of thin air, tosses on her kitchen table, looks it over and somehow sees what no one else sees. She throws in a unifying theme or two, at least a handful of astute comments about life its own self, brilliant writing -- and she does this magic while making you laugh. We all need our heroes, our diversions. Well, here you go. You have to subscribe to Salon, but it's worth every cent, just for this column. Be sure to email Salon.com and thank them for hiring her. In fact, do like I do and give gift subscriptions, and tell the recipients, "It's so you can read Heather Havrilesky!" 12:00:06 AM    comment []
