some of the stuff from backinnaday is in there, but not much. i guess that's because that stuff was already out in the public domain. so she had to piece together more broke recollections. it was a seamless recreation though, since it all still feels like the original.

there was one 'false memory' i had regarding the book. one particularly funny story that she drops toward the end was one that i swore came from the original diaries, but she told me that it was something she'd posted on okayplayer (so old-heads on the site may recognize an entry or two).

i think her editor did a great job, since i can clearly 'hear' her voice. i wrote a review of it for a paper that i write for, and it was just published today, so i'll post that.


peace & blessings,
