  • Thank You, Brilliant Writing

    This piece is absolutely incredible. I feel like I read things online a lot that are pseudo self-deprecating and not really effective. I do not have the same problems that many of the readers above have – or that Ms. Crosley has -- had but I almost don’t think the subject is what makes the piece special. Anyway, I never comment on this kind of stuff, but I found this very touching and could have kept reading. Thank you.

    This essay is about a trite topic. But thats what makes it great! She took a topic that is boring as Hell for most of us and made it into nothing like I've ever read before. I laughed out loud. The thing with the catamarans,The ending wasn’t my favorite (very wink, wink) but I honestly thought the rest of it was basically brilliant. This isn't an essay about sex at all (which made Salon's homepage a bit disappointing, frankly) but it is about something different with an ORIGINAL voice...I can't WAIT to read the collection, assuming it's a bit more varied than this,

    non-bitterly yours,

    BJ

    But this sounds amazing. I can't wait to read it and haven't read anything by Pico Tyer in ages. I wonder about his interpretation, though....interesting,
