In Praise of Messy Lives: Essays
by Katie Roiphe
by Katie Roiphe
An incredibly polarizing writer which makes Roiphe an interesting and provocative essayist. I didn't always agree with her (it's hard to imagine any reader would) but I appreciated her precision and her bravery. And I suppose I enjoyed her repeated take-downs of the smug, bourgeois conventionality of the urban liberal class. The personal essays are marginally better than the literary essays but the book was a terrific read throughout. Highly recommended.
