Heartburn

Not a bad book, but certainly a reminder or how times change. Nora Ephron's preferred word for lesbian is dyke, for instance, and she uses it a lot, as if the word is inherently funny. Gay men, referred to as homosexuals, are treated as inherently promiscuous. A black woman is called high yellow, and said to resemble a poppy seed cookie. A Latina therapist is referred to as food a lot – one being a refried taco.

I don't know. It seems to me that these slightly backward moments due to time marching on shouldn't be what I take away, and yet... I have no feelings toward this book beyond this either than mild amusement.
