Description

This essay humorously explores the complexities of giving and receiving advice, highlighting the enduring power of the "kaffeeklatsch", a gathering of women sharing coffee and dispensing wisdom. It playfully contrasts the often-unsolicited advice we give with the genuine desire for guidance, referencing Ann Landers' long-standing advice column as a testament to the human need for counsel. The piece draws parallels between the kaffeeklatsch and a heavenly version, where Ann Landers now finds herself answering cosmic questions from historical figures like Isaac Newton and Marie Antoinette.
