Robyn asked this question about My Year of Rest and Relaxation:
Did anyone else notice the discrepancies with the protagonist's age? She says at the beginning of the novel that she was 24 in 2000 and turned 25 in August of that year.

She says on page 48 that she was born in August 1973, but on page 78 says she turned 25 on August 20, 2000. On page 3 she tells us she was 24 in mid-June of 2000.

It's small, but it really bothers me, lol.(less)
