In Praise of Messy Lives: Essays
by Katie Roiphe
by Katie Roiphe
While there were some essays that felt pretty shallow, there are a few here worth the price of the ticket. I found the first essays, on divorce and single motherhood moving, and I loved the essay contrasting the Updike generation of male writers with the Jonathan Franzen generation. (any piece that brings out the crazy in Ayelet Waldman is bound to be amusing) Also, the essay on Susan Sontag was haunting.
