    jane juska's famous NYRB personal

    Well at least Jane Juska got a book (A Round-Heeled Woman: My Late Life Adventures in Sex and Romance) out of her famous NYRB ad: "Before I turn 67 — next March — I would like to have a lot of sex with a man I like. If you want to talk first, Trollope works for me." And her ad worked for her, even if it does read more like an LRB ad than a typical self-glorifying NYRB one.
