“Judy Blume: A Life” and the Problem of Biography

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.newyorker.com/books/under-review/judy-blume-a-life-and-the-problem-of-biography

"#JudyBlume, the acclaimed #author of young people’s #novels, saw resurged interest in her work in 2023. One of her most famous #books, Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret, hit the big screen as an acclaimed feature-length #film; that same year, Amazon released a #documentary about her, Judy Blume Forever. Meanwhile, Mark Oppenheimer—a #writer, podcaster, editor and teacher at the John C. Danforth Center on Religion and Politics—was asked by the author herself to write her #biography.

Months after the Blume bonanza, #Oct7 happened. And while this has little bearing on the public’s appreciation of Blume work, The CJN’s opinion editor, Phoebe Maltz Bovy, got to wondering: would the world be so excited about a #Jewish writer (who writes openly Jewish characters) if her #movies were slated for 2024 instead?"
