Anna Schott is a memoirist, essayist, and creator of the beloved Substack She’s Gone Chilaquiles, where her fiercely funny, emotionally astute writing has attracted a devoted readership. Blending razor-sharp humour with surprising tenderness, her work explores marriage, motherhood, appetite, ambition, aging, art, and the strange theater of ordinary life with a voice that feels both wildly original and instantly familiar.Publisher Alisa Kennedy Jones has called her 'the midlife woman's answer to David Sedaris', though readers of Schott’s work quickly discover a sensibility entirely her own: irreverent, observant, deeply humane, and unafraid of absurdity.A classically trained musician turned street performer, Schott writes with enormous affection for humanity’s messier impulses and everyday contradictions. She is also the owner of an objectively unreasonable number of brown pants and lives by the motto: 'Gluttony is its own reward.'She lives in California with her husband James, their son Jesse, and an extremely good dog named Marvin, all of whom regularly appear in her work, whether they consent to it or not.
