I'm reading Ann Patchett's memoir of her friendship with Lucy Grealy. I went looking up reviews last night and I found this heated thread debating not just the book, but the merits of the friendship.
I haven't read that far, but two things are apparent to me: (1) Ann Patchett tried to be a good friend; and (2) Ann Patchett was an enabler.
We read Grealy's "Autobiography of a Face" in Wesley's class. I didn't like the book. I found it very self-centered, and that rings true in Patchett's portrayal (hero-worship notwithstanding) as well.
