Heather O’Neill is a Canadian novelist, poet, short story writer, screenwriter and journalist. Her debut novel, Lullabies for Little Criminals, was selected as the winner for the 2007 edition of Canada Reads. It went on to become an international bestseller.

So when she has something clever or brilliant or interesting to say, I’m always compelled to listen. This time it’s both clever and brillant.
