Reviews

[Holly · Rating 2 out of 5]

A collection of strange stories written by many women whose names I did not recognize. What is post-feminism? I think this collection is meant to show that women, just like men (note David Foster Wallace) can write something different. Mazza in the intro wrote that she wanted something other than "women's writing." These stories are difficult; some were so obscure that I wasn't sure what I was reading.

So, my thesis advisor is one of the editors of this collection, and reading this is one of the reasons why I chose the program at CU.
