"Harriet the Spy," chapter 5. Alison and Jody journey back to Louise Fitzhugh's depiction of 1964 Manhattan, a world of little twerps and wise nannies. Ole Golly goes on a perfectly lovely Mary Poppins-ish date and – of course – Harriet stalks her. Mom talks about her vomitorious meet-cute with Dad. Harriet gets existential about loneliness. There's a weird tickle. Jody presents TWO Special Reports on yogurt and Elizabeth Arden, while Alison drops some Mata Hari knowledge. It's a Judy Blume book club. Join us every week!
