Normal Girl?

About Me

I am the author of Normal Girl and Girl, Maladjusted. I am a horrible dyslexic.Here is my lame Bio-- of course I'm much older and fatter now--Molly Jong-Fast is the twenty-six-year-old author of the weirdly popular cult novel Normal Girl and Girl Maladjusted (both published by Villard). She has written for The New York Times, The Times of London, Cosmo, The New York Observer, Mademoiselle, Marie Claire, British Elle, and many other newspapers and magazines. She has an MFA from Bennington College. She recently chronicled her wedding for Modern Bride Magazine. She lives in New York City with her husband, her child, their cocker spaniel Godzuki and Pete, the world’s fattest cat. Her mother wrote Fear of Flying, her grandpa wrote Spartacus, and her great great grandfather was a herring merchant. Also check out my website, WWW.MOLLYJONGFAST.COM

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

"But if by 'Liberal' they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people -- their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties -- someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by 'Liberal,' then I'm proud to say I'm a 'Liberal'." John F. Kennedy, 14 Sept 1960 ************************************************************ **************************** If only God would give me some clear sign! Like making a large deposit in my name in a Swiss bank. ~ Woody Allen ************************************************************ ***************
