reviewed Everything I Needed to Know About Being a Girl I Learned from Judy Blume on July 24, 2008 Everything I Needed to Know About Being a Girl I Learned from Judy Blume
It brings back so many memories of Judy Blume books, and that time period where every girl I knew read Judy Blume - we tried increasing our bust size like Margaret, and shared the pages in Forever (you know the pages), we all knew Judy Blume characters, they were the books of our childhood, and early adolescence.
It also brought me back to why I am a reader, what I find in the pages of a book and what I look for. I am a lit major - I spent a lot of years deconstructing and analyzing words and stories. I am a big believer in reader response - that a story does not exist in a vacuum, it is only understood through the lens of the reader and so everyone has a slightly different experience with a book. And yet author intent, if it is successful, allows us to share experiences, to move reading from a solitary past time to a shared social experience.
For my generation Judy Blume is a cultural touchstone, and sentimental me, found myself tearing up reading essays that reminded me of that touchstone. I swear if I didn't know better I would think people I knew were writing these essays. What am I saying? People I know wrote these essays, we just haven't actually met.
