The Human Stink

This was a real dog. Encyclopedia of an Ordinary Life is supposedly  "a charming and witty memoir of how we live now". It is not. It's conceit is that it's a memoir where the author says from the onset that nothing really bad has ever happened to her and it is an 'encyclopedia' of themes of ordinariness. What a waste of paper and ink. Perhaps nothing bad ever happened to her but I think I now qualify for a memoir based on the horrors inflicted by having read hers. Her conceit is that she thinks she has found beauty in banality....sadly she has only found banality. Do not read this book.
