A memoir from a writer who's "smart, hilarious, unique-just terrific" (Anne Lamott). A thoughtful, funny memoir about surviving the real and imagined perils of childhood and early adulthood, Disaster Preparednesscharts how the most humiliating and painful moments in Havrilesky's past forced her to develop a wide range of defense mechanisms, some adaptive, some piteously ill-suited to modern life. By turns offbeat, sophisticated, uproarious and wise, Disaster Preparednessis a road map to the personal disasters we all face from an irresistible voice that gets straight to the unexpected grace at the heart of every calamity.
