Trifft aber leider manchmal wirklich auf rory zu... :|

Ja, das stimmt schon. Aber ich finde, Rory sollte in der Folge mehr zu dem stehen was sie geschrieben hat. Klar war es fies, aber sie nimmt sich ja nach dem Streit absolut total zurück und entschuldigt sich 100 mal - und es waren ja WIRKLICH auch Idioten auf der Party. Und Bobbi.....

Keine Ahnung, mir gefällt nicht was Rosenthal aus der Beziehung macht....

Ironweed is a 1983 novel by William Kennedy.

PLOT:

Ironweed is set during the Great Depression and tells the story of Francis Phelan, an alcoholic vagrant originally from Albany, New York, who left his family after accidentally killing his infant son while he may have been drunk. The novel focuses on Francis's return to Albany, and the narrative is complicated by Phelan's hallucinations of the three people, other than his son, whom he killed in the past. The novel features characters that return in some of Kennedy's other books.

Wow, das klingt nach einem tollen Buch ehrlich gesagt!

Ich denke, eine Inhaltszusammenfassung von bookrags.com erkärt ein bisschen, was Logan meint:

Ironweed is the remarkable story of Francis Phelan, once a talented major league baseball player, husband, and father of three, who has fallen so far from grace that his home for the past twenty-two years has been the street. Author William Kennedy takes us into the mind and heart of a homeless vagrant and explores the situations which have brought Francis to this heartbreaking station in life. Francis' denigration of himself and his common-law wife, Helen, makes for a disturbing read, and yet the novel is ultimately uplifting. It begins not with Francis' fall from grace, but rather with the day on which he begins his journey towards redemption.

APRIL: Okay what do you think. I put this article on Darfur on the front, you know to put things in perspective in case Sabrina doesn't like the CD that I picked out for her.

LORELAI: This is my Police "Synchronicity" t-shirt. I have been missing this for 22 years! I asked you if you had it! I looked you right in the face, and you denied it!

RORY: It's mean?
OLIVIA: Sort of Lynn Hirshberg meets -- I don't know, someone really mean.
RORY: What? No! No, I'm Fran Lebowitz. It's supposed to be fun, frothy, lighthearted satire, social anthropology. I'm Tama Janowitz.

WOMAN: You need to check your watch battery.
MAN: Check my watch? This is a Quartz Timex. You wind it.

LOGAN: I promise, and look the truth is, I wouldn't be so upset if you weren't such a good writer. I mean, talk about the pen being mightier than the sword. It’s true that pen of yours is a howitzer.
