So bad. It slowly drips privilege page by page. I almost didn't finish it but held on and did because I couldn't believe what I was reading. Hypocrisy, privilege and a superficiality that I have rarely encountered. Not worth picking it up unless name dropping makes you all tingly or you want to read about a white, privileged, baby boomer woman writing all about herself over and over.

This book is mostly interesting if you are a long-time reader of The New Yorker, and have some knowledge of the NY intellectual scene. The last section of the book kind of veers into "Eat Pray Love" territory but the author is too prim and of an era to really get deep.
