[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On my beach vacation I read Ordinary People and When Women were Dragons. They were both okay, didn’t love either. Ordinary People was well written but my patience for 20-somethings who make dumb life choices and can’t communicate effectively is limited. Same reason I can’t watch shows like Girls. When Women Were Dragons also well written and an interesting concept (sort of an allegory or magical realism type thing), but I found it a little simplistic. It oversold the sexism in the 1950s and 1960: — I mean, there was definitely a lot of sexism but this was almost a cartoonish level of sexism. I get that it isn’t meant to be a realistic book (hence dragons) but it irked me a little. [/quote] I take it this was not Ordinary People written by Judith Guest, published in 1980? [/quote] I think it may be Normal People. That is about twentysomethings.[/quote]
