About This Item
New York: Random House, 1993. First Edition. Hardcover. VG+/VG+. Concerned as she is with all manner of conflicts between public and private issues represented in this collection of essays from her syndicated New Yo rk Times op-ed column, Quindlen ( Living Out Loud ) admits to viewing even non-feminist topics through "the special lens of her gender." Sensitive to social and political trends and the "shifting sands of geopolitics" that pr opel events, she points out their cost in human terms, especially as they a ffect the excluded and abused. Violence, notes the author--sexual, racial o r political, performed by individuals or in groups as members of sports tea ms, gangs, police or the military--is routinely glorified, whether in child ren's cartoons or adult soap operas. Equally effective are Quindlen's alway s superbly controled commentaries on lying, bigotry and moral hypocrisy amo ng political, judiciary and religious leaders, and the cynical use of ideal s to justify military incursions.
