6/21/2023 0 Comments In the unlikely event book review![]() ![]() I was a bit old for her YA fiction in the 60s, and too snobbish in the 70s and 80s to read her adult fiction. She has written a few books for adults, with the same insistence for reality that characterizes her YA work. She is most renowned (and controversial) for her YA fiction, which tackles subjects parents dread – sex, obesity, racism, divorce, and more. You know those conversations when a bunch of people (often English majors) confess what they are embarrassed not to have read? Remembrance of Things Past always makes the list (it’s #1 on mine), as do Ulysses (Zzzz) and The Canterbury Tales (which I never would have finished without the Cliffs’ Notes). Well, with apologies to the literary masters, this week I added Judy Blume to my list of authors I should have read.īlume has been a force in American fiction for the last four decades. ![]()
