The New York Lifestyle Times

July 18, 2010 / No Comments

I really enjoyed Gary Shteyngart’s (never heard of him) witty and dodgy answers in the NY Times Magazine this Sunday. Here’s my favorite quote, read the whole thing here.

In your novel, Fox News has become Fox Liberty Ultra.
I’ve seen Fox News a couple of times. It’s a nice transition from the Pravda of yesteryear. It’s a party line without a party.

And this newspaper becomes The New York Lifestyle Times. Why would you make an unkind prophecy like that?
It means more Circuits, more fashion and style, and I love that stuff. Don’t get me wrong. The real-estate section really is my favorite section.

(I’ll be honest, I read it for the lifestyle.)

Hi! I live in Vermont with my husband Joe and our four daughters: 11, 9, 6, and 3.

Writing on this blog is fluid. In an effort to just keep going I try to publish things before they feel ready or perfect, and I often come back and edit them again, later on. Its primary purpose is a way to engage with others on topics that otherwise swirl about in my mind in a lonely way. I spend most of my time homeschooling and learning alongside the girls. I grew up in Michigan and was homeschooled with my six siblings until I went to high school. I believe in God; our family attends a Mennonite church.
