Pretty good, I think. Haven't read it since middle school... about all I remember is that whole 'Orgy Porgy' bit. That was this book, wasn't it?
I can't even think of a comment to make other than "blah" and I didn't like this book at all. From back cover: "From the acclaimed author of Leaving Brooklyn and Disturbances in the Field comes a witty, sophisticated novel that confirms Lynne Sharon Schwartz as a major voice in American fiction. At age forty, Laura is struggling with the violent death of her reporter husband as well as an obsessive on-again-off-again love affair with an elusive actor. Suddenly, she find herself incapacitated by a mysterious lethargy - a love affair with her bed, as she puts it. Though Western medicine can name her disease, and its cause, it can do nothing to cure her. As time and alternative methods gradually bring Laura back to health, she finds solace and meaning in writing about her encounters with often wrongheaded but well-meaning stangers, friends, lovers, and family. Lynne Sharon Schwartz has created a haunting mosiac of a woman adrift in society: Laura's illness and recovery are a metaphor for the modern urban malaise, and for the spirit that can defeat it."
Hopefully this will stick and I can calm my baby. When I was a nanny the kids rarely had screaming fits that were regular and qualified as colic/chronic colic. I am worried they were genetically good tempered and that my kid will, er, maybe not be so lucky....
