[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, she is quite the navel gazer. But I also find her to be sincere and a pretty good writer. I liked EPL and for all of you who hated it, would you have hated it as much if it was a little obscure book you happened upon? I think a lot of people hate the fame surrounding that book.
This is quite a dramatic turn in her life but the Facebook sounded real to me. She has no kids so she is not breaking up a family and she is going public with the sort of thing that most people keep to themselves. I didn't take it to mean she was discovering she was gay, but that she was in love with this particular woman. [/quote]

The thing about EPL is it NEVER could have been an obscure little book. She got a $200k advance for it which is how she was able to go to Italy and India and Bali to even write the book. The whole thing was plotted and calculated. And yes, as an adult, I would roll my eyes at any adult woman who asks for s divorce, gets it, and then needs to devote an entire year to self-indulgence to cope with the choice. It was always juvenile and self absorbed, even if she's technically a good writer (and she is). Her material is just herself though and how did this make Liz feel? It gets old.

Her best friend is dying and that's awful but a healthy person doesn't assume that means they are a lesbian in love with their friend and get another divorce over it so they can be loud and proud for a few months til the friend dies. She is making such a spectacle and when her friend does die I hardly believe Liz Gilbert will continue living life as a lesbian. [/quote]
