It's so strange because I loved Van den Berg's short story collections. But this novel is confusing -- or something. The first half is pretty straight ahead but then it begins to feel silly to me. Belly buttons grow deeply inward, famous authors are ...more

Well, the writing is certainly good. I am not moved by the letter format. I am sure others will be, but it feels a bit forced. And,perhaps most centrally -- and of course, personally, -- I do not care about the main character. She is unlikeable, and ...more

This book was mostly riveting. The characters, the plot, the dialogue... But then, maybe 80% in, it lost steam for me. Jill was a writing instructor of mine many moons ago and she was great. I loved her writing voice and her teaching approach. I reca ...more

“You've got to breathe! And make the bridge between the top half of your body and the bottom. Between the woman in you who's sweet and tender, and the woman in you who's a bitch.”
Katie Singer, The Wholeness of a Broken Heart

“When I called Nona Aguilar, author of The New No-Pill, No-Risk Birth Control (Simon & Schuster, 1986), I described my frustration that I was not acceptable to the training program at the Albuquerque clinic. “Well,” she said, respectfully, “I agree with that policy.” I leaned back in my chair. “Okay,” I said. “I don’t understand this.

“You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, who had ever been alive.”
James Baldwin, Giovanni’s Room
