“I love the Family Markowitz by Allegra Goodman but felt her most recent story was rather dull. As a recently, divorced woman, myself, I did not find the story satisfying, or realistic. I am sure that someone’s experience can be like this, and it did make me feel well-wishing for all of the characters, but it was almost like reading a young adult novel instead of an adult, one with more varied and nuanced experiences within one family, which I have noted in her previous work. I had a similar experience with the Rivka Galchen story. I thought it was a better story, and generally more satisfying, but not as good as other work, as I have seen of hers in the New Yorker.”
