You know how some authors look like they'd write the kind of stuff they write? For instance, Steve Almond (whom I hope you'll see at the Brookline Booksmith tomorrow--see the last entry below) just looks like he'd write the sexily. Yes, sexily. Sensitively, but sexily.
On the other hand, to behold Elinor Lipman, you might not guess that she pens such pithy, darkly ribald novels. But boy, does she!
For a good time, go see her tonight at Porter Square Books in Cambridge.
