These are my stories, y'all. I am engrossed in the soap opera of Mary Ann, Michael, and the gang at 28 Barbary Lane. I have even started watching the miniseries in eight-minute chunks on YouTube.
Book two was a breezy romp...that Mary Ann sure knows how to scare up trouble, for an innocent Midwestern girl. Then there is Michael and Jon's tortured on-again, off-again...I guess this is a soap requisite. The real heart of this second collection is the Mona/Mucca/Madrigal thread, which I wouldn't dare bring myself to spoil.
Why was there not a 20th century pop lit seminar in college? This is reading I would've loved being required to do. I remain fascinated by the serial format. I realize it's a long shot, but do any serials still exist? Perhaps they've all been replaced by personal observation columns.
