Civilization, as I have come to know and love it, has come to an end.
I was a little concerned, myself, as I read the review the first time, but in going over it again I remembered that 'Miss King' has never followed anyone or anything. She tells you what she thinks. And here she tells us what she thinks of this book.
It's actually very reassuring to see her in print again. I was worried she had crawled into the jug and disappeared for good.
Silly me.
Florence King is indeed a brilliant writer, although severely lacking in judgment and morals. Actually I thought she had died, and seeing this encomium to a wormbag like Keith Olbermann almost makes me sorry she hasn't.
I had no idea about her very sick proclivities until a few years ago. While it can not destroy the pleasure I got from her wonderfully misanthropic essays over the years, it did make it tougher to root for her.
Looks like she's hitting bottom now.
I was heretofore a major fan of Florence King. This article could have been written by James Carville. Quelle disappointment.
