Wendy's dead?
Wendy's dead?
I'm having a lot of trouble with this.
I first encountered Wendy and her work through my mom, who moved in some of the same social circles, back in the 80's. It was a brief encounter, but a lasting impression. I was struck not only by her clear brilliance, but by her humor, which encompased and went beyond the classic Jewish female insight and chutzpah, and into a category all its own.
And she's gone. At age 55.
I'm sort of numb.
