520 |a When the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright turned 40, she made a To Do list, most of which repeated the items she had listed when she turned 30. In "Shiksa Goddess", her first book of essays in ten years, Wasserstein takes on these and other midlife obsessions with her famous, appealing humor 
520 1 |a "When Wendy Wasserstein turned forty, she made a To Do list composed mostly of items left over from when she turned thirty. The list included the annuals: lose weight, exercise, read more, improve female friendships, improve male friendships, and (left over from her second grade To Do list) become a better citizen. At the end of the list were the larger-than-life unavoidables: move, fall in love, and decide about a baby." 
520 8 |a "In Shiksa Goddess, her first book of essays in ten years, Wendy writes about each of these quests and midlife obsessions."--BOOK JACKET
