daisygrrl, I soooo loved The Imposter's Daughter! It would figure you loved it too! You're the first person I've talked to who has also read it
.
I am reading "I am the Central Park Jogger." Well, I'm listening to it on tape, let's be honest here. It's read by the author which is cool. It's certainly a heavy topic. It's very well-written and flows beautifully. Much of it is about how one recovers from a traumatic injury which I find to be quite fascinating.

On a much lighter note, I'm listening to the CD of the new David Sedaris book: Let's explore Diabetes with Owls. It's a collection of his usual humorous, memoir-type essays. He always reads his own books for the recording, and I love his voice. It's very soothing, and he clearly gets a kick out of himself which is kind of sweet. I'm a little less into it because I've already read most of these essays by him in the New Yorker. Oh, what can ya do?

I just read The Imposter's Daughter--and loved it. I wanted something confessional and structurally complex. For those who love a memoir, it's fantastic--and for those who adore comic prose, it's breathtaking. |
