And I mean really strong. I expected each following essay would be equally as profound, however as the book progressed I found myself bored and frustrated. While it is evident that Jamison is an excellent writer, I often felt like her narcissism plagued each scenario at hand. Two smart readers recommended this title, so I expected to love it. Not so much. The title essay = absolutely the price of the book, or in my case, the time to check it out of the library. A couple of the other essays came close to the elegance and insight of the title piece. Mostly, I struggled with the sense that I should be impressed. Good writing is difficult to produce but effortless to read. The hard work of this intelligent writer flagged page after page to the point of distraction -- the writerly work rather than the content stole the spotlight. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
