review 1: I've never heard of Elinor Lipman. I happened to be browsing through the Popular Library section at the L.A. Central Library and this caught my eye. Well, Lipman is a wonderful essayist. Her pen is quick and light. Her essays are intelligent and humorous. This is a great introduction to the woman. I do not know if I will move onto her fiction - as I seem not to be able to deal with any fiction these days - but if there are more Lipman essays floating around out there I will be sure to grab them.
review 2: I started reading essay collections last year, starting with Anne Fadiman's anthology "Ex Libris." I enjoyed that quite a lot, and I equally enjoyed "I Can't Complain." The collection is several columns that Lipman wrote for different papers, and covers ... moretopics such as childhood, one of her novels being adapted into a movie, watching the Masters Tournament in memory of her deceased husband, and more. Anyone who enjoys the simplicities of life, gentle humor, and quick reads should enjoy "I Can't Complain." less
