The Commercialization of Intimate Life: Notes from Home and Work
Whoever gave this book less than 4 stars is a totally unsalvageable idiot. this book of short writings, mostly nonfiction with some fiction, was brilliant. i just went up the mountain for a four day solitary retreat with no running water, electricity and only wood heat in an insulated hut, and lemme tell you this book saved my ass. sitting in the cold with only the sounds of my own thoughts for four days threw me into an abyss. tom pulled me out. as always. in fact, i now rank this in my top five robbins books: even cowgirls and roadside attraction tied in the first two spots, jitterbug perfume and this one tied in the second two, and still life with a woodpecker coming in a solid five....if you're a hard hearted bore...or boar, for that matter, or an unremitting moron with no sense of intellectual adventure....don't bother. (officially the only review ive ever written where i insulted the audience instead of the the author -- curious)
love,
cynthia
