What was it they were once, or had been once to each other? Editor and assistant editor? Or had he merely seized her in his arms in some dusty library in a convenient corner by the card index catalogues one afternoon in spring? Impossible to tell, from Viola's guarded hint. How irritating it sometimes was, the delicacy of women!

Cahiers du Moment: May 2014
http://cahiers-elizabeth.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 09, 2014. A review of Good in Bed. This review of Jennifer Weiner's first novel, Good in Bed (2001), was published a year after it first came out, on the now-defunct website Scarlet Letters. I wrote it as both a response to the recommendations I had gotten for it as a size-/fat-positive book and a review. I edited it down a bit here for reasons of ranting interminability, but it still. Requires a bit of scrolling. Why Jennifer Weiner's Bestseller Ain't All It's Cracked Up to Be. Her journey o...

Cahiers du Moment: September 2014
http://cahiers-elizabeth.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 08, 2014. It My college years were anchored right in the middle of the Reagan presidency, so there was a lot of synthpop to hate. He articulated the word over and over with an elongated distaste that we imitated in his kooky snarl: “ssyyyyynnnnthpop.” He extolled at length the virtues of Chicago blues and the Farfisa organ and complained about bands like Wham! 80s pop was the devil and the blues were real. To sound like wrongheaded moneyed corruption. There was a breeze off the fetid la...

Cahiers du Moment: January 2014
http://cahiers-elizabeth.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 19, 2014. There is the slight feel of an accident in how Threesome. Ended up a good movie. Movies that tackle primarily sex and relationships can date strangely fast for topics that have constant relevance. Assuming they go over well in the first place, they are so imprinted by directorial intent and sexual mores that their appeal can go misshapen weirdly quickly, even, or especially, if they are intending to shock or push boundaries. Threesome. This, to my thinking, is what Threesome.

Cahiers du Moment: The Long Winter
http://cahiers-elizabeth.blogspot.com/2014/03/the-long-winter.html
Friday, March 07, 2014. I know I'm not the only person who tends to think in increments of Laura Ingalls Wilder- generally, in life, but during this crazy winter especially. I often have found myself comparing weather events in recent months here in Chicago to events in the 1880-1881 Dakotas "hard winter," to figure out where we match up with the chronology of Ingalls' The Long Winter. Here is a graphic to keep track of things if you do the same thing! Illustrations from The Long Winter. Gangs of New York.
