A NYT special about Alison Lurie
Alison Lurie has long been a favorite author of mine. I am just re-reading her at the moment.
This is a collection of reviews of all her novels.I think the best one is, The War between the Tates.She has a delightful sense of humor and an ability to create truly alive believable people..
I found this quote which will show you what she is like.
You can’t write well with only the nice parts of your character, and only about nice things. And I don’t want even to try anymore. I want to use everything, including hate and envy and lust and fear.”
― Alison Lurie, Real People
Stock up now.Beat the winter blues by entering a new world.
There is a peculiar burning odor in the room, like explosives. the kitchen fills with smoke and the hot, sweet, ashy smell of scorched cookies. The war has begun.
