Description

Lillian Simmons is run ragged! Juggling the responsibilities of family life, meeting newspaper deadlines as a freelance writer, and dealing with a woman’s lot in the nineties has left her stressed to the limit. Canadian humorist Lillian Simmons’ coping mechanism is her column “Run Ragged,” published weekly in nine Canadian newspapers.
Lillian’s self-prescribed tonic is to find the humorous, absurd, and ironic in our existence. Marriage to a rock musician, raising two children and working as a freelance writer provide a fertile field of human behaviours that she dissects with an insightful, gentle wit.
