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. These are just a few of the
topics that Mary Schmich addresses in this second, expanded edition
of Even the Terrible Things Seem Beautiful to Me Now, a collection
of her columns from the Chicago Tribune, including the 10 that won
the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for commentary. 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. 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.
