Within the first few pages of the novel, we find out that Peggy “was intended to be a man,” that “girlhood was a mistake,” and that she is a “thespian” (by which Zink means to convey a mishearing of lesbian). One of the main characters, Peggy Vaillaincourt, is everything her rich parents don’t want her to be. Yet, as is soon revealed, it is the typical picture of a women’s liberal arts college, full of bull-dykes and radical feminists and man-haters, which stereotypically amounted to the same thing in the 1960s and ’70s when the early sections of the book take place. The novel opens with a description of Stillwater College, an all-girls school that is not a direct parody of either Wellesley or Sarah Lawrence. ![]() ![]() The front cover blurb indicates that Franzen sees Zink as “A writer of extraordinary talent and range.” This is true, yet my dominant thought as I read the book was not “here is talent, here is range, here is writing at its best,” but rather, “this book is going to piss a lot of people off and I’m not sure whether it’s worth it.” Nell Zink’s newest novel, Mislaid, has the official Jonathan Franzen seal of approval. ![]() 5/27/2023 0 Comments Ice breaker book hannah grace![]() ![]() ![]() Which is tricky when a facilities mishap means they are forced to share a rink with the figure skating team-including Anastasia, who clearly can't stand him.īut when Anastasia's skating partner faces an uncertain future, she may have to look to Nate to take her shot.

His intention in writing the Confessions was not so much to narrate the effects of this drug as to expose its influences to a mind, his own, which he knew to be privileged, endowed with unusual faculties.
