THE NEXT BEST THING — In Stores July 3rd!
posted by Jen at 9/30/2002 02:23:00 PM
This might be my last update for a little while, because I'll be on the road -- New York, Boston, Chicago and points beyond before I get to come home again. If you've already finished IN HER SHOES and are casting about for what to read next, let me recommend THE BITCH IN THE HOUSE , which is a new collection of essays from women writers talking about marriage, parenting, and anger, anger, anger. It's uneven -- some of the pieces are just brilliant, and others are just whiny (I'm always struck by how many New York City writer gals tend to conflate love and real estate, lavishing as many adjectives on their boyfriends as on their sunny, spacious Brooklyn floor-throughs with fireplace.) But the book is definitely worth reading, if only for Natalie Kusz's breathtakingly brave essay "The Fat Lady Sings," which is the most important thing I've read in the last while (it was excerpted last month in O magazine -- notably, disappointingly, without a picture of the author).
junonia.com ), I don't believe that being large dooms you to a life of discomfort, creaky knees, shortness of breath, and the looming possibilities of disease and death. I know I sound like a rah-rah aerobic bunny, or possibly Susan Powter, when I say this, but I think that you can walk, swim, do water aerobics, ride a bike, lift weights, dance, whatever, even if you're not a little pixie thing. And there's nothing that makes me feel as good as a workout (not necessarily during the workout, but definitely after).
