Love, Pamela: A Memoir of Prose, Poetry, and Truth

JESSICA PRESSLER, THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW

"The most disappointing thing about Love, Pamela is that it doesn't come in a form that can be injected directly into your veins ... Anderson is a natural storyteller, which shouldn't come as a surprise; her ability to sustain a personal narrative is what's kept her in the public eye for going on four decades. Love, Pamela is a dazzling and occasionally dizzying ride through this period, in which vivid scenes of '80s and '90s decadence bump up against blind items about Russian oligarchs and brief but iconic celebrity cameos ... Woven throughout are passages written in verse, which is not as annoying as it sounds: There's so much going on that you need the extra line breaks to catch your breath."
