Having to Say You're Sorry

There's a nice review of I'm Sorry You Feel That Way: The Astonishing but True Story of a Daughter, Sister, Slut, Wife, Mother, and Friend to Man and Dog.It's a memoir Mankato State's own Diana Joseph in which she dishes the dirt on the men in her life.

There's a nice review in the Minneapolis Star Tribune. "You can't help but wonder, Does she know what she's saying? Does she know how she sounds? But her stories are carefully planned, and just when you despair of her they suddenly veer in a different direction and gain focus and insight and, yes, wisdom, and you watch with admiration, and say, Ahh, yes, she does."

Diana Joseph will give a reading at Magers & Quinn at 6:00pm on Saturday, March 7. Details are here.--David E

"I'm Sorry You Feel That Way is sure to offend the faint of heart, but it's hard to recall another collection of essays, or a memoir, with more natural charm."

That's not a bad takeaway from Almond's review.--David E
