OMG, I just finished Philip Roth’s The Plot Against America” the first book in my new Fighting Fascism (for girls) book club. Mind blown. Next book is Sinclair Lewis’s It Can’t Happen Here.

“I took my first Philip Roth book out of the library - the one at my Temple, Har Sinai.”

Yes some of his books are Amazing. Plot Against America was one of those. But books like Sabbath's Theater, Operation Shylock, The Breast, When She Was Good, The Dying Animal and The Human Stain are really so over the top - I was blown away by them when I read them. But I look back and think I was being gaslighted. It's fascinating to think about how these books shaped me for a long time.

Yes, so many wonderful things to do on I day when one is focused on the I and not that which intrudes upon important revery. Thank you for bringing the second writer to my attention. I was just reading Stone's piece when I saw your comment about it show up. Yes. It is absolutely time for women that enjoy being women to revolutionize the concept that we have the best secret abilities very few throughout his tory have ever known.
