New York Times; review of the play, The Lonely Soldier Monologues; the book is mentioned

New York Times; a mostly positive review of the play, The Lonely Soldier Monologues; the book is mentioned
“If war-story fatigue prevents some theatergoers from checking out “The Lonely Soldier Monologues (Women at War in Iraq),” that will be unfortunate, because this energetically acted example of journalism as theater explores some issues that deserve more attention.”

Washington Blaze; review with cover image in Spring preview section, ran in the Friday March 6th issue
“Funny lesbian Kate Clinton’s book of vignettes, “I Told You So” (May), throws just as many ingredients into the pot — she riffs on Hillary Clinton and waterboarding, baptism and Provincetown — but comedic license and her own wicked sense of humor, allow Clinton a kind of thematic ADD that fiction would not afford.”
“…succeeds admirably….Macy’s complexity is revealed…essential reading for those interested in Macy or Keller.”

“After writing two books about Helen Keller, historian Nielsen (The Radical Lives of Helen Keller) vowed she ‘would never again write anything even remotely related to her.’ Fortunately, she couldn't help herself.”

“Illuminating and frightening….Joyce’s facility with this difficult material is notable….It would be easy to reduce the members of the Christian Patriarchy movement to a fringe group of hard-right kooks and poke fun at them; Joyce stays respectful.”
