Quote of the Day (Leslie Jamison, on the Facebook and Actual Versions of Life)


“There’s the Facebook version of life, and there’s the actual version. Even though I feel really grateful for my husband and family, any utterly tranquil, blissful domestic tableau probably has its own complicated truth behind it.” — American novelist and essayist Leslie Jamison quoted in Ruth Shalit Barrett, “Where’s the Train Wreck?  Can Leslie Jamison Top The Empathy Exams With Her Mega-Memoir of Addiction?,” New York, March 19-Apr. 1, 2018
