Wow. I read the Elle piece and now Joan Walsh's on Flanagan. Before the reviews and the book, I read Flanagan in the mags. Frankly, I find it discouraging how much she is being attacked. When I first began to read her in Atlantic Monthly, I found her voice--and her confusion--to be refreshing. Seems to me that some are envious of this "it girl." Give this a woman a break. Clearly she is in a position many of us wish we were in--New Yorker assignments and childcare to help her along--but it all goes to show that questions remain even for those so blessed. So much much for sisterhood.
