Wednesday, July 23, 2003 The Pitch: It's like The Corrections meets When Harry Met Sally...or is it? From Granta:I've read this story half a dozen times over the years, and when I think of it, I always remember that woman envying her ex, the writer. But when I looked at it again recently, I was surprised to discover that it's not just him she envies but them—that is, not just her former husband but her current one. Different from each other as they seem, they have both 'decided what to do about everything they run across in this world, what attitude to take, how to ignore or use things'. What she envies is not something about being a writer, but something about being a man. This piece by Kathryn Chetkovich is an amazing piece of work--both inspiring and agonizing. Supposedly the man in question, is Jonathan Franzen but the piece is strong enough on its own that you don't need to know that to enjoy it. I just mention it because I'm a fucking gossip. posted by Jeff Lester | 1:17 PM | |
