I guess I travel in the wrong circles because I had no idea what Lindy West is famous for. But Lindy got the eyeballs on the work at least. Maybe there's a MadLibs wheel or they draw these projects by lottery or something in these media conglomerate offices.
I've never heard (or read) of Lindy West or her husband before reading this post, so count me out of hating either one of them. Still, this was an interesting read, as it is baffling that such media giants would write about a book that has sold only 3000 copies. And if the reviews aren't complementary, it proves that "there is no such thing as bad publicity" isn't true.
Not the point, I know, but I can't even understand why 3,000 people bothered to purchase it, really. Lindy West is the definition of talentless hack IMO.
I'd never heard of it until just now. But I don't do social media so I miss a lot of the extremely online world.
The New York Times should definitely not have multiple pieces about someone and their work most people are clueless about.
Never heard of Adult Braces. Lewis Grizzard I HAVE heard of as we got his column in the CLT Observer. Sydney Harris’s column was also a joy.
Writing is a tough business.

I saw the book still on the table at LAX last night. Unlike the rest of us there, it was not flying off.
