I take out my phone and search “NYT review Zaman.” Because Reema Zaman, a Portland-based writer, performer, and friend, is one of the reviewed. I’ve read two out of three of them, and I’ll take home Houston’s Deep Creek tonight. “Three women’s memoirs criticized for oversharing? I’m sure I’ve read this review before, and yet all three books are brand new. By which she means: the writers were doing something for themselves more than for the readers, writing to save themselves rather than to demonstrate that experience on the page as literature, as art, worthy of praise, writing that could be construed as private, emotional work, journaling of some sort, embarrassingly displayed for the world, a tumble of private details which do not-in the reviewer’s opinion-rise to literature “ basically called their books therapy,” one of my dinnermates summarizes. The Examined Life May Be More Worth Living. I really enjoyed reading about the challenges and responsibilities presented to the girls, allowing them a fun time to explore and learn new skills they may never have realized they were good at! Brought back many memories of my own kids experience with scouting but provided a much more in depth visual from an insiders account.Marissa Korbel wrote her essay “Down Girl” to address a bad review by Alexandra Fuller of three female-authored memoirs received in the New York Times: Pam Houston’s ‘Deep Creek ’ Reema Zaman’s ‘I Am Yours, A Shared Memoir ’ and Sophia Shalmiyev’s ‘Mother Winter, A Memoir,’ and, more broadly, to discuss pandering and misogyny in literature. Located smack dab in the middle of Tempe close to downtown, A Mountain provides beautiful 360. One of the best hikes in Tempe is the hike up A Mountain. It obviously was a very rewarding experience for this author. Tempe, Arizona as a vacation destination, is one of the best cities for empty-nesters who enjoy exploring the city as well as lovers of the outdoors.
These days, it seems like too many families are too busy to allow time for kids to get away from their screens and take time to get out on their own and maybe experience some personal growth while enjoying nature and a team/friendship building experience. I hope it encourages other young readers to give scouting or other similar activities a try. In the process, Im sure it helped many of the girls grow in self-confidence and make a wide variety of new friends. It was really interesting how the scouting experience helped these young girl to challenge themselves and “think outside the box” to accomplish goals they might never have experienced at home. She really brought the characters to life. The author gave a clearly enjoyable account of a young girl struggling to overcome the frustration of the shy, awkward stages many young people experience in their youth.
