![]() ![]() Then again, this is the neighborhood where a faded metal sign off the elevated subway welcomes you to brighton beach: a whole new world!, while the majority of residents are doing their best to turn it into the old one. There's no such thing as a private conversation. This is what happens when three generations of women-and one so-genial-they-sometimes-forget-he's-in-the-room man-share a three-bedroom apartment in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn. "What Balissa means," Zoe's mother, Julia, chimes in, using the portmanteau Zoe gave her great-grandmother as a baby. "Because," Zoe's great-grandmother explains, in Russian, "when love goes bad, you cannot throw it out the window." In Russian, okoshka (window) rhymes with kartoshka (potato). ![]() Her great-grandmother was very proud of this. Her great-grandmother spoke Russian-and some German. Zoe hoped her confusion was merely a language barrier. "Love is not a potato," Zoe's great-grandmother Alyssa had been telling her since before Zoe was old enough to know for certain what either word meant. ![]()

![]() In 2002 Tara Moss was dared to take a polygraph test to prove that she writes her own books. While drawing on her own experiences to help convey the messages in the book, it isn’t just about her life, but the lives of women everywhere. The Fictional Woman covers 18 chapters: The Model The Body The Survivor The Writer Gold-diggers and Mean Girls The Femme fatale The Archetypal Woman The Invisible Woman The ‘Gender Wars’ The ‘Real’ Woman The Beautiful and the Damned The Beautiful Man The Visible Woman The Mother Playing Mothers and Fathers The Crone The Feminist The Next Chapter. ![]() ![]() It was insightful and refreshing to see a woman discuss these women’s issues so matter-of-factly, because let’s face it they aren’t talked about nearly as much as they should be. On Wednesday June 18, 2014, I was lucky enough to see Tara Moss give a talk about her book The Fictional Woman, and the issues she discusses within the book. ![]() ![]() ![]() We'll also pay the return shipping costs if the return is a result of our error (you received an incorrect or defective item, etc.) You may return most new, unopened items within 30 days of delivery for a full refund.

![]() ![]() ![]() Including such a lighthearted approach to the author’s message meant that I’d be happy to read this over and over again. This was even more important to me than the narrator’s ability to find the funny side in what can be a very annoying habit. I respected the fact that the author trusted his audience to understand what he was trying to say. ![]() The message of this tale was clear, but it was never heavy-handed. This is something I’d want to discuss with a preschooler after reading it to make sure they understood how it ended and why it ended that way. Stein took such a creative approach to how this evening ended for his characters, I would have preferred to see them spend some more time finding a resolution for the problem they were facing. She felt she had good reasons for the choices she made, but she also struggled to understand why her father didn’t appreciate her antics. I couldn’t help but to laugh every single time the little red chicken interrupted one of the fairy tales her father was reading to her in order to warn the characters about what would happen to them next. This story had a fantastic sense of humor. Everyone knows that interrupting someone else is rude, but not everyone is good at stopping this habit once it is formed. ![]() ![]() ![]() Picture Book – Send whole, double-spaced manuscript, 12-point type.
