This is a collection of personal essays, mostly personal anecdotes, similar to many of Nora Ephron's books. Written mostly for a NYC women's magazine, they're even shorter than Ephron's usual articles, and very late 80s. Lots of single-woman life. Some feminism. Some making-it-as-a-writer. She had horrible luck with men, although I already knew that. Maintained a good attitude, at least. It was a fun, breezy read and -- two weeks later -- I've forgotten almost everything.

In plays such as Isn't It Romantic, Uncommon Women and Others, and the Pulitzer Prize-winning The Heidi Chronicles, Wendy Wasserstein put her finger on the pulse of her past-modern, post-feminist sisters and delivered her diagnosis with shrewd good humor and an unerring sense of the absurd. That same engaging sensibility bubbles through the twenty-nine essays in Bachelor Girls, in which Wasserstein presents her observations on: --Boyfriends: "The worse the boyfriend, the more stunning your American Express bill." --Role Models: "In the forties emulating an ideal woman meant bobbing your hair like Betty Grable's. In the eighties, because of Jessica Lange, women have to get a Pulitzer Prize-winning actor-playwright to fall in love with them, have a child by one of the world's great dancers, be nominated for two Academy Awards, and enjoy doing the laundry alone on a farm." --Success: "I knew my friend Patti was a big-time Hollywood agent the first time I saw her dial a telephone with a pencil." Ranging from the dietary secrets of lemon mousse to the politics of the second marriage, with stopovers at a bar mitzvah in Westchester, a chess tournament in Rumania, and a Tokyo production of Isn't It Romantic, Bachelor Girls is pure Wasserstein, which is to say, pure joy.
