Susan Berliner has always been a writer. But this book is different: It's not a supernatural thriller. It's not a collection of weird short stories. It's about Susan. Entertaining long-ago journal entries ( Diary of a Young Reporter ) partner with oodles of quirky short takes like these: * attending a Hasidic bar mitzvah ( The Goyisher Table ) * floundering at the bottom of the alphabet ( Growing Up "W" ) * socializing at a college houseplan party ( When Susan Met Harriet ) * nearly losing her job-twice ( Ready, Aim--Fire? ) * book signing escapades ( The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly ) Got a few minutes? Enjoy an episode from Susan Berliner's life.
