Great news for
New Yorker readers: Today's
Observer reports that Caitlin Flanagan, the rich lady who's made a career of
telling you what a bad wife and mother you are for needing to work, is no longer a contributor to that magazine. While Flanagan claims, through
Atlantic dinner party buddy Benjamin Schwarz, that she's making far too much money from her book-writing career (her last tome,
Get Back In The Kitchen, You Fucking Whore sold a stunning 8,700 copies), the
Observer suggests it might have something to do with the fact that a piece on Mary Poppins creator P.L. Travers which Flanagan wrote for
The New Yorker early this year that pretty much ripped off vast swathes of a Travers biography. Up next for Flanagan: a book "about teenage girls and the ways that they have been both served and also shortchanged by the women's movement."
Cum-Guzzling MySpace Sluts should be available sometime in 2008.
