Yes, it was the mother-nanny book. Good memory! I'm still figuring out this website, as it's a bit overwhelming."

Loved your piece on Franzen - left a comment on the Daily Beast too. You make great points in your comparison - and one can even take it further, in terms of writing style, too. Makes my blood boil. It's bad enough when the "lighter" female authors are disparaged, but to go after Wharton????????? Just shows that it's not about worth, but sexism.

I'm eager both to finish it and to read your other works. I also took a look at your husband's website, and we definitely do share some interests.
So many new books to add to my reading list!

I have a few of the anthologies you have essays in and look forward to revisiting them, now that I know you're in them -- ! I hope our paths cross again soon.
