    There should totes be a "Fucking Michael Chabon" tag. It works because of the ambiguity!

    I could only get through the first page of the Times piece. To me it just comes off as childish bragging. She has the luxury of choosing from multiple people to love and who love her. Some of us have no spouse/partner, no children, no one at all.

    @MrRewrite: OK, I don't have a dog in most of the fight here...but if that's your actual evaluation of Chabon's writing, I submit that no one can trust your opinions on anything.

    What's the sound you make when you try to say "meh" and "ick" at the same time? Because I just did it.

    I feel embarrassed for Michael Chabon the same way I felt embarrassed for Joshua David Stein.

    I heard her on NPR today and I have to say she sounded pretty normal. She explained the whole "I love my husband more than my kids" essay and it was pretty rational, she also discusses pretty frankly a late term abortion she had which is pretty brave given the fucking lunatics out there.

    Yeah... I suspect Ayelet loves Ayelet more than she loves either her husband or her kids. I would also wager that she was jealous of the attention her husband was getting for his work and decided to write something controversial to garner attention for herself. Oh, and to If_I_Only_Had_A_Heart? He's cheating.... Definitely.

    You forgot the time where she gently let her kid know that Christmas is for ignorant, superstitious boobs. But be nice to them!

    What's her problem? Is she supposed to be thinking of her kids while she fucks her husband? Because that would be seriously creepy.
