The Great Taste of Straight People- Reviews

"These in-your-face fictions are the epitome of the post-feminist writing we call chick-lit.  Not only are these pieces funny, perplexing, hysterical, histronic, ,loud, astute, disturbing, playful, sharp-edged and scathing, in their frenzy they demonstrate the reange of ideas a woman can write about."

-Criss Mazza, author of Is It Sexiual Harassment Yet?

"Like so many of her "chick-lit" peers, James (editor of the on-line Postfeminist Playground) shows a poignant, almost Kerouac-ian faith in the products of her pen--no matter whether the subject is loutish boyfriends, caricatured feminists, the travails of middle-class girlhood, vague fantasies of thrill kills or the questionnaires in women's magazines. Sometimes, in James's case, the rambling pays off in a clever one-liner--as when a pregnant woman considers naming her child Dignity even though "if a girl the obvious porn career, Hot Dignity Dog, made it a bad choice." More often, however, these 19 stories trail off without even that; most could pass for e-mails written to pass a long, uninspired afternoon."
