Romantic Comedy: A Novel
by Curtis Sittenfeld
Not up to this author’s standard.(4/9/2024)
This was my fave author, I read everything by her. This book would only hold interest for someone with a keen curiosity as to how SNL Is produced. I am not that person. Book is cutesy. I could not get past page 11. Chick Lit.
I too was at the time in question a good looking science major getting too much attention of the wrong kind from men, and my career was thereby derailed from biology to law. (I was he winner.) To me this book while striving to be "cute" does not capture the time and there was no sense of place. To me this book is not satire, or if it is satire, it is satire failed. Satire needs to be timely comment, not rehashing the woes o 60 years ago. PS I handled all of my problems without ever stabbing anyone with a pencil or any other sharp object.
