Meghan Daum is an acclaimed essayist, novelist, and cultural critic whose incisive explorations of modern life have captivated readers for decades. Born in Detroit and raised in California, she graduated from Vassar College and has since built a distinguished career blending personal narrative with sharp social commentary.

With a voice that is both witty and unflinching, Daum continues to challenge readers to confront the messy truths beneath polished surfaces.
