(Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviewsKaysen's experience rings true with just about any condition women have that men typically don't get. If it's a "woman's disease", there just isn't research done on it, which means asian teens the doctors don't know what causes it, which of course means the doctors don't know how to cure it. As my doctor said, it was only after men started asian teens getting irritable bowel syndrome (or admitting to asian teens it, I should say), that any research and treatment came about. The book was indeed "slight" (as Kaysen described it in an interview), but to add much more to it would be to belabor the point. Your vagina has rebeled, your vagina has died, it's horrible - we get it. The terse prose was perfect for the subject matter, and the imagery was lovely. It was also a very quick read - a nice change from long, depressing literary novels.
