a sustaining emotional roadmap…

Book review:

The Woman at the Washington Zoo:

Writings on Politics, Family, and Fate

by Marjorie Williams (1958-2005)

Timothy Noah, ed.

New York: PublicAffairs, Perseus Books Group, 2005

358 pages

I wish I had known about Marjorie Williams’ work when she was an active staff writer at The Washington Post.

She had a pungent, penetrating style, and she carefully offered reasoned judgment as well as what we can nostalgically think of today as “facts.”

In The Woman at the Washington Zoo, her personal memoirs about her life and her cancer are wholly human, and they remain as a sustaining emotional roadmap for an engaged reader.
