The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

The first season of Amazon’s “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” about a brassy 1950s housewife-turned-stand-up-comic, debuted last fall to swoony reviews (including one from the The Times which described Midge Maisel’s “bon mots rattling like ice in a cocktail shaker”). Though the second season of the cult-favorite show has just landed, many fans have hurtled through it at breakneck speed and are already in withdrawal. If you’re one of them, we’ve got some books for you to read. Gal Beckerman and Tina Jordan, New York Times.

I libri consigliati sono: The Group di Mary McCarthy (of course), e poi Seriously Funny di Gerald Nachman (che non conosco), Crazy Salad di Nora Ephron (che adoro) e The Joy of Yiddish di Leo Rosten (This 1968 lexicon codified words like “kvetch” and “schlep” in American English). 

E con questi consigli di lettura per le vacanze e questa immagine piena di energia e allegria auguro a tutti BUON NATALE E FELICE ANNO NUOVO!
