Sinopse
Life and Other Shortcomings is a collection of linked short stories that takes the listener from New Orleans to New York City to Madrid, and from 1970 to the present day. The women in these 12 stories make a number of different choices. Some work, others don’t; some stay married, some get divorced; others never marry at all. Through each character’s intimate journey, specific truths are revealed about what it means to be a woman in a relationship with another person, in a particular culture and era, and how these conditions ultimately affect her relationship with herself. The stories as a whole depict patriarchy, showing what still might be (and certainly what was) for some women in this country before the #MeToo movement. Both a cautionary tale and a captivating window into women’s lives, Life and Other Shortcomings is required listening for anyone interested in an honest, incisive, and compelling portrayal of the female experience.
