I just finished reading this wicked feminist book that manages to strongly put forward a point of view without ever being didactic or lecturing. It is funny and witty and altogether wonderful. Yay that it is a first novel by someone my age!!
Finished the novel!
I do believe I have been working on this book for at least six years and now it is going out into the world like a teenager with her first car. Can you get insurance?
Failing and Flying by Jack Gilbert
“Everyone forgets that Icarus also flew.
It’s the same when love comes to an end,
or the marriage fails and people say
they knew it was a mistake, that everybody
said it would never work. That she was
old enough to know better. But anything
worth doing is worth doing badly.”
I am excited to have received one of these grants!
