I have a bad habit of reading novelist's essay collections and/or memoirs before reading their novels, which sometimes unfortunately puts me off moving on to their better known books (see Ann Patchett). In this case, however, it worked out well. I listened to I Can't Complain on CD (read by the author), and tremendously enjoyed having Elinor Lipman's company in my car through the various stages of her life that these essays cover. I laughed and I cried, and really, I don't ask for much more from reading/listening than that. Now, on to her fiction! ( ) This was a very quick read; a collection of short essays and articles, mostly previously published, but none of which I had read before. Inevitably I enjoyed some more than others; I liked the "predictors of compatibility" listed in "Boy Meets Girl" very much, and the chapter about losing her husband was moving. I do disagree about the movie version of "Then She Found Me" though - I loved the book and Dwight Willamee was the best thing about it. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

HTML: Elinor Lipman has populated her fictional universe with characters so utterly real that we feel like they're old friends. Now she shares an even more intimate world with usâ??her ownâ??in essays that offer a candid, charming take on modern life. Looking back and forging ahead, she considers the subjects that matter most: childhood and condiments, long marriage and solo living, career and politics. Here you'll find the lighthearted: a celebration of four decades of All My Children, a reflection on being Jewish in heavily Irish-Catholic Lowell on St. Patrick's Day, a hilariously unflinching account of her tiptoe into online dating. But she also tackles the serious and profound in eloquent stories of unexpected widowhood and caring for elderly parents that use her struggles to illuminate ours Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
