As with Jessa over at Bookslut, I can’t pretend to be unbiased in my postings about Elizabeth, a dear dear dear friend and moreover, a woman who will renew your faith in art with exclamations like, “get a bass guitar that sounds like Cher!” when attempting to give advice on the future.
She has edited an incredible anthology of womens lit called This Is Not Chick Lit, featuring among others, Jennifer Egan (whose latest, The Keep, has just been fellatioed by The NYT Sunday Book Review the review was so gleaming) and Curtis Sittenfeld, both of whom, along with Elizabeth, will be doing a panel reading at the Barnes & Noble on the Upper West Side (of Manhattan), this Friday August 4, at 7pm.
