BAD ROMANCE FALLOUT
Over at n+1, Cristina Nehring writes a furious response to Emily Gould’s smiling bitchslap of a review of her book, A Vindication of Love:
Ms. Gould well knows that I’m not the “corduroyed fattish academic” to whom she likens me in the opening of her article…
The Editor’s Response (below Nehring’s letter) references a panel on Feminism that n+1 hosted at the Kitchen last week, the same day the review appeared, saying, “two of the panelists spoke about it at length.” I was at the panel… it might have been mentioned, but I don’t remember anyone speaking about it at length.
FWIW, Gould’s review is entertaining. But I haven’t read the book, nor does it occupy a space in my ever-growing to read stack, so I’m not qualified to remark on it substantively.

My dreams tend to be vivid and madcap anyway (something I apparently get from my mother, who was always telling me when I was a small child about dreams where she was in an ocean full of sharks or a mansion full of panthers, things of that nature) but food further enhances them.
