<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><b>An updated collection of more than 150 columns from Mary Schmich, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist whose column appears in the <i>Chicago Tribune</i>.</b><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>What it means when your father dies. How it feels when summer comes. What it's like to live in a great but troubled American city. The value of wearing sunscreen. <p/> These are just a few of the topics that Mary Schmich addresses in this second, expanded edition of <i>Even the Terrible Things Seem Beautiful to Me Now</i>, a collection of her columns from the <i>Chicago Tribune</i>, including the 10 that won the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for commentary. <p/> Schmich is the rare newspaper columnist whose writing resonates long after it's published and far beyond the place she lives. She may be best known for a column widely called "Wear Sunscreen"--misattributed to Kurt Vonnegut and turned into a hit recording by Baz Luhrmann--but her writing ranges as widely as life itself. It can be slyly humorous, deeply moving, or tough. She addresses subjects as varied as family love, sexual harassment, long friendships, poverty, and Chicago violence. <p/> Every city has its voices, the enduring writers who both explain and create a city's culture. Chicago has had many, including the legendary Mike Royko and Studs Terkel. Mary Schmich is among them. In a hectic age, her writing lifts us, calms us, and helps us understand.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Mary Schmich is a 2012 Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist who has written for the <i>Chicago Tribune</i> since 1985.
