These are wonderful essays by an excellent journalist. Very much worth reading.

When people hear "feminist author" I wish it was Katha Pollitt's wry, revealing writing that came to mind first. She is a first-rate essayist.

(Her infinitely patient, gentle driving instructor points out her weakness--"Observation, Katha, observation!") She also offers a candid view of her preoccupation with her ex-lover's haunting presence on the Internet, and her search there for a secret link that might provide a revelation about him that will Explain Everything.--From publisher's description.… (more)
