The Fame Lunches Reviews

2.5
“Daphne Merkin is an author that I never heard of before, so I was interested in reading this book, and learning a bit more about her. The author is a former writer for The New Yorker, and she is a regular contributor to Elle magazine. Her previous publications include Enchantment, a novel, and Dreaming of Hitler, a collection of essays. I thought this was a great collection of essays on a wide range of topics, whether informative, or just an intriguing read. This actually happened to be the book that I carried with me throughout the week, so I could read an essay or two whenever I had the time. There were a few essays that didn’t hold my interest, but I think that people will find the variety in this collection to be enough that a selected few won’t matter when it comes to the overall book. Merkin’s wit, smarts, and fearlessness was showcased in her writing, and it made me think of sitting down with a friend over a cup of coffee with good and honest conversation. I enjoyed it, so I am going to be passing the book onto my mother so she can read it, and I will checking out Daphne Merkin’s other books, too.”
