Digital Doggie Bag: Barbara Amiel

Yes, our Oct. 19 conversation with Barbara Amiel was as noteworthy as the memoirist herself. To listen to someone who can write about such important times and places — with a masochistic compulsion for self revelation and a discerning eye and razor wit when it comes to presenting the rich and powerful — was absolutely fascinating. She’s like a Zelig with nothing but personality, who can really write, has 576 pages, and no F's left to give. Except for her husband, her dogs, and her work.
