jacq03 's review for:
Saint Mazie
by Jami Attenberg
I learned about Mazie while doing research for a book I co-wrote a few years ago. My co-author had so many stories about Mazie from his father, who grew up near her stomping grounds in the '30s. This book creates such a vibrant, colorful image of who Mazie was/could have been. It's a solid consolation for the fact that there's so much about her that we will really never know.
The fact that the book was written as diary entries made it a quick, easily digestible read and also makes you feel like you know the real Mazie, which I think is an interesting concept since Attenberg kind of imagined her up as she filled in the many blanks from a few good sources.
