In last week's review of "Julie & Julia," I wrote of the film's pertaining (or not) to the "chick flick" genre, "A fictional film would probably counterweight the countdown on Julie's blog with her biological clock." This weekend I was challenged on this statement with the contention that something similar was already in Powell's memoir. It's been a while since I read the book, so I took a peek when I was at Three Lives over the weekend and -- sure enough, first chapter, first page, Powell is at the obstetrician's being told she should hurry up and have children and feeling dangerously ambivalent about it.
Wormbook regrets the error.
