Welcome to Litsy!

Sarah Schulman is one of my favourite authors; I‘m always excited when she has something new. She‘s in tiptop form here, dark & witty, with deeply flawed characters & a gritty portrait of New York City. I cared immediately about Maggie, post-rehab, desperate just to get through each day & determined to convince her ex-wife that she can be trusted to see their young daughter again. Over 5 days, a mystery is solved & there‘s hope in the world. #LGBT

Trump was giving people approval for being ignorant, and too many of them seemed to love him for it.

Maggie Terry, a former NYC police detective was kicked off the force because of her addictions. I love the way Sarah Schulman makes sociopolitical commentary while taking me inside the world of AA meetings.

What a stupid thing to say to a little girl whose mother had left her behind: “You‘re so pretty.”

Sarah Schulman knows how to make me smile.

Really enjoying the smart, dry humour in this so far.
