Title: disappointing
Review: I read this work after I read Gluttony which was sharp and acute. This work by Wasserstein by contrast is sort of like the subject she chose 'sloth', that is to say sloppy and without effort. This work is not funny, has tired joke themes from some of her other work, sags, is inert, not sparkling. Contrast with Hunter Thompson, a sharp eyed and sharp minded satirist. Or with Mencken. I'm sorry this work is disappointing; her Heidi Chronicles, even though it is now a sort of aged romantic comedy about a very narrow class of women in America, was fresh to the East Coast audience in its time.
