“Faithful listener for the last four years, but your recent interview with Jojo Moyes was -- I don't even have words for it. First, the occasion of bringing her on was the premiere of a movie based on her (astonishingly bad) book, which was reviewed three years ago in your paper.
So we have a romance novelist who hasn't published anything new in three years.
Second, there is a serious backlash going on among the disabled community which is never mentioned in the interview. Instead, we get lots of Jojo talking about how her life was changed by the original review in the NYT. It's framed on her wall! it's everything she hoped a reader would say!
Third, I looked up that review after listening to this self-serving nonsense. The reviewer, at one point, quoted from the book ... unfortunately the llines she loved so much were evidence that Jojo didn't know much about the lives of people living with the disability she hooked her story on. (Clue: a person who hasn't used his hands in two years does not have calluses on them.)
This whole mess is beneath you guys. I'm embarrassed for you.”Read full review »
