well slap my ass and call me judy
July 7th, 2006 | Interviews & Reviews
Fun Home is on the NY Times Book Review bestseller list. They only list the top 15 in the magazine. But the “extended list” goes down to number 35. And Fun Home is number 30. The latest version isn’t up yet, but on last week’s it’s number 35. Ann Coulter, alas, tops the chart. But I’m stunned to be on there at all.

WOw and WOW again Allison. Congratulations, much deserved success. I’ve been a fan for years and Fun Home takes your work to a whole new level; it’s very literary, thoughtful, and beautiful. You keep getting mentions in mainstream press and I kvell as if I were your grandma…not that I’m old enough, mind….

Gosh, can’t you guys even get the number of “l”s right?
There was even a joke about the “l”s in the book, I guess you missed that one…
