From the physical presentation --- the book comes wrapped in a thick cover with a nice inside-flap folded over, like a hardcover --- to the content, this is a nicely done production. It is not just fiction writers interviewed here, either. Janet Malcolm, the journalist, was interviewed, and her piece inspired me enough to purchase her book, THE JOURNALIST AND THE ...             The Lovers: A Novel10 reviews Vendela Vida Ecco, 2010 So beautiful it hurts-- When it was over, I was angry. I was angry that I had to leave this soft world that she had created. It started out calmly, but quickly Vida entangles you in a web of emotional complexity that will strike you down and make you forget to normal things, like eat dinner and go to sleep at night. Please get lost in this book.             Away We Go: A Screenplay (Vintage)3 reviews Dave Eggers, Vendela Vida Vintage, 2009 Movie made for urbanite parents The writing is subtle and the movie was lost on most mainstream viewers who do not get the urbanite silliness and our privilege of having so many choices about how to raise our children. The movie feels like an inside joke to those parents making all our intentional choices about how we want to raise our family. I could not stop laughing at times and really enjoyed the humor poking fun at ...             And Now You Can Go: A Novel34 reviews Vendela Vida Anchor, 2004 What a life-affirming book! Ellis, the protagonist in Vendela Vida's book, has a profoundly disturbing experience: a man grabs her in a park, telling her he is going to kill himself, and he does not want to go alone; he is taking her with him. Ellis, trying to convince him there is much to live for, recites poetry to him, since it is art and poetry that transform lives. After persuading the would-be killer and suicide to ...             Let the Northern Lights Erase Your Name: A Novel (P.S.)23 reviews Vendela Vida Harper Perennial, 2008 Perfect Book Club Choice I'm a sucker for style and a well-turned phrase, and this book had me with the first page. The story, though bleak, introduced me to a geographical area and people unfamiliar to me. The characters and plot are almost fable-like, difficult if not impossible to relate to but compelling all the same. There are multiple layers to the story, and as you can see from the varying reviews, multiple ...             Girls on the Verge: Debutante Dips, Drive-bys, and Other Initiations29 reviews Vendela Vida St. Martin's Griffin, 2000 Amusing view I picked this book up because unlike Alexandra Robbins "Pledged," Ms. Vida actually decided to experience a sorority rush as one of the "rites of initiation" she covered. For her other topics, she interviewed young women in the situations and did her best to observe some of the activities (e.g. a debutante ball). I especially enjoyed her epilogue where she attended the Burning Man festival in ...             Vendela Vida Lovers HarperCollins Publishers, 2010             Und jetzt k�nnen Sie gehen Vendela Vida Btb, 2008             Read Hard: Five Years of Great Writing from the Believer2 reviews McSweeney's, 2009 Another Surprising McSweeney Release I loved this book. It is another surprising McSweeney's Book Release Club selection. Reading this book reminded me of like channel surfing bunch of cool cable stations (that don't really exist) that were designed specifically for me - the writing, truly, is sort of like channel surfing. There is a wide variety of intriguing topics and the writing style is sleek and hip.
