[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This must have been a white woman thing. I'm 50 and Black and I do not remember this book. Is it just me?[/quote] It's fine that you don't remember the book or that the topic didn't interest you. But you don't have to denigrate it as a "white woman thing." Think about what you are doing. Is anything that simply didn't cross your radar written off now as a petty bourgeois exercise in racism? Croatia? Must have been a white woman thing. [/quote] +1000 I’m almost 52, white, and hadn’t heard of her. Please stop dividing EVERYTHING up along racial lines. [/quote] In this context, it’s racial and cultural. That’s not a bad thing. It just is. Jesus.[/quote] Or it's just something some people are into and others not. I'm white, 39, and was in Wurtzel's law school class. Had civ pro with her actually. I never heard of her or her book until a classmate told me she was famous. I tried to read it and could not. Word vomit combined with really poor choices. She was a train wreck. I'm sorry she's dead and she had a tough life, but her later in life choices were her own. And yes, everyone knew she was not interested in practicing law, which to be fair was not particularly unusual at YLS. I know lots of other classmates who no longer practice law. Including a fair number who never did, and a few who never took or passed the bar.[/quote] Ahh, immediate PP here. You are more representative of the classmates I keep in touch with. If you were in her civ pro class the first time she took it, I'm sure we know each other. As I said, I enjoyed Prozac Nation and think she was a gifted writer, but train wreck is really a perfect description of her in law school.[/quote] We probably do. Alas, I myself did not keep in touch with many classmates during my own 3-year plunge into Biglaw. Too many late nights and not enough keeping up with friends. [/quote]
