Changing the Subject
Caitlin Flanagan has her first article in this week's New Yorker. Too bad it's not on line, because, the chick bloggers, like myself, would be going crazy. Flanagan has the ability to both charm and piss off her readers at the same. The trouble with her writing is that it is so seductively good that you forget that she doesn't make any real points. She weaves this way and that without taking a firm stance of her own. The words are nice, but the thinking is sloppy. More on this tonight.
