Radio On: A Listener's Diary

As I do whenever she has a new book coming out I'm busy rereading the collected work of Sarah Vowel. She's has one of my favorite voices period, warm, funny, intelligent, confidential, conversational, and occasionally scathing.
That being said as of Radio On she hadn't quite got it right. Not that she had it wrong, she always had her knack for seeing beauty in strange places, humor where there seems little chance to find it, and a keen sense of how pop culture and history shape our lives.
It's just all a little off, the tone is for lack of a better word, too damn bitchy, the voice is too impressed with it's own intelligent, it's generation X in it's worst most navel gazingly self satisfied.
Imagine if you will that Reality Bites wrote a book.
