Yes, she is. Although she also spent part of her childhood and went to college in New Zealand. Apart from that she’s Jewish.
I mean, her last name does sound German, so maybe the guy you replied to just read the book in German and assumed that was the original language? But I can confirm it’s not.
She also is literally a boomer and her dayjob is being the landlord of a bunch of low-income properties she bought in Alberquerque, so if you subscribe to mainstream Lemmy’s philosophies, you probably won’t like her very much outside of her writing.
I just wanted to call out the person who obviously didn’t read the book (iirc she mentions her upbringins and the major part of the story takes place in california) - but thanks for your reassurance
also, i guess i like the book though the encaptured reality and truth (i.e. how she invites the reader to witness the failure of her relationship) left a weird feeling of unexpected (and unwanted) voyeurism
German? Ain’t she 'Murican?
