Partly because Buschheuer was subsequently a witness to the 2001 World Trade Center attacks and her online journal from that time was widely read and appreciated as good reporting , some , particularly in academia , have subsequently argued that the book was not taken seriously enough . In 2004 , Kristie Foell judged it an up-to-date and recognizable critique of " degradation through Westernization " . In 2007 , it was the subject of a doctoral dissertation by Oliver Benjamin Ham in which he argued that it presents the " gendered body " of the protagonist as " the main mediator and battle field of the divisions and tensions in Berlin between East and West Germans " . In 2010 , Tabea Dörfelt-Mathey saw it as an incisive portrait of the 1990s , built up out of details and lists in a manner reminiscent of Bret Easton Ellis ' '' American Psycho '' , with a protagonist who problematizes the female role : she acts like a man until in playing the part of Eugénie to " Valmont " , she becomes weak . Dörfelt-Mathey saw the widespread negative reviews as responses to preconceived notions of what women should write
