I found the whole content of this book to be incredibly interesting. Roiphe lays herself bare sharing intimate details of her life. And listening to The Power Notebooks as an audiobook made Roiphe seem even more vulnerable. Roiphe is a gifted writer who makes you think about women and their choices. Why we do the things we do. Why we want the things we want. It takes courage to let people into your life. And even more courage to put it out there on paper for the world to see. Roiphe is not perfect. She doesn't claim to be superwoman or have all the answers. It's as if this book was saying: This is me. This is who I am.
I don't agree with all her insights into the authors she writes about, and I cringed when she talked about an affair she had when she was fifteen with a 30-something year old rabbi. But it was interesting to hear her point of view nonetheless. I am so glad I picked this book up. It not only introduced me to Roiphe herself, but a few other authors I haven't had the pleasure of reading yet. And I've added more books to my wish list because of it.
