Casey Wilson Almost Didn’t Include ‘Happy Endings’ in Her Book of Essays and More About Her Writing Process
Danielle Turchiano Senior Features Editor, TVCasey Wilson may be best known as an actor, with roles in “Gone Girl,” “Atypical,” “Happy Endings” and “Black Monday” as well as a stint as a “Saturday Night Live” cast member, and as a podcaster (“Bitch Sesh”). However, she also has an extensive writing résumé, including co-penning feature comedy films “Bride Wars” and “Ass Backwards.” Now, she is about to publish her first book, “Wreckage of My Presence,” out May 4 from Harper, a collection of essays reflecting on her familial and romantic relationships and some of her past work, all through a humorous lens.Some stories just aren’t concluded yet, in a way, and I think it’s easier to write things in hindsight.
