    <body><![CDATA[&quot;Postcards from the Edge&quot; is infinitely superior.  I love Fisher's voice and most of her descriptive/emotional asides, but the plot and the tension here was a bit lacking.  And the slapstick was a bit much.  Reputedly about her break up with Paul Simon. ]]></body>

    <![CDATA[Soap opera Dinah Kaufman has a problem: She only loves the ones who leave. Now that she's safely divorced from her brilliant playwright husband, Rudy Gendler, she's free to love again, with a magnificent obsession. Enter once again ex-husband Rudy, the perfect object of a hopeless passion, who has finally found domestic bliss in the dunes of East Hampston, Long Island. When the Hollywood writers' strike gives Dinah perilous free rein to follow her hormones, she sets out for the Hamptons-and Rudy-and a seismic jolt of reality.]]>
