	<description>Austin, Texas novelist Ruth Pennebaker, who&#039;s old enough to call herself &#34;fabulous,&#34; writes about family, politics, marriage, friendship, feminism, aging and whatever else occurs to her.  Her latest novel, Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakthrough, was published by Berkley in January 2011.</description>

		<description>Dear Fabulous Geezer Sister,  Is there room in your pantheon of friendships and history and memories and ideas and ideals for yet another fan? Mostly I would like to catch up on your earlier writings, perhaps to begin with you and your sister in Poland and the relationship of sisters as well as sisterhood.  Though a faithful listener of NPR and a sometime reader of the NYTimes , I had never connected the dots with writer and the oh-so-interesting person at daughter Lynn&#039;s birthday bash until now.   High time.   So much to learn, so little time, high or low.  In spite of my &quot;late bloomer&quot; status, I will happily begin with your book and work my way on from there.  Many more insights in the future. As they say in England, &quot;cheerio&quot;.  Marian</description>

		<description>Hello, again, Ruth.
Subsequent to my recent post (minutes ag0) I did read some of your blog and have a query regarding your &quot;silent sister&#039;s&quot; occupation in Poland.

Perhaps, a ponderous thing to submit, but I am only enquiring about referential data.

Loathing what I do as I do (previous comment) I am wont to emigrate. Because each of my ancestors of one generation ago were from Poland did that note on your site captivate my attention. Although I have begun investigations related to said ancestry, the possibility to teach English in Poland (converse to the less appealing versions in Japan/China/elsewhere) appeared as a surprisingly option.

Therefore, the enquiry—providing you are comfortable, and willing to reply with such information—is whether there is an agency to which your sister subscribed and, thus, was hired to teach there.

To wit: A facility to capitalize upon , perhaps, so to migrate. Providing what qualifications I possess would render that feasible.
If the request is not excessive, please respond.</description>

		<description>Hello, Ruth.

Did I not just relish your article, &#039;The Mediocre Multitasker&#039; in the New York Times; the language and the meaning. I am an amateur writer, which may be evident, who loathes—no, detests!—corporate, American, oligarchy. I am not intending, however, to write about that. Well, not much.

What I, too, found refreshing was the denunciation of their queer institution. Of many, a singular bane, peculiar to modernism, but—as I believe—peculiarly generated by corporations to extract more from humans than is humanely considerable, in smaller and smaller time frames, and, subsequent to their most recent contraction of the workforce, from fewer and fewer individuals. I think that generalises my meaning enough.

Otherwise—which is the motive for my response—I loved you writing style. I have not read more of it online (I am not much a fan of reading anything online, although I do love to write.). Notwithstanding, I thought your writing was elegant, fittingly—if at all, insufficiently—sardonic, and ideally intelligent.

If my email is not, also, hidden from your view you are invited to respond.

		<description>Ruth:
Just saw your piece in the NYTimes and wanted to say &#039;hi&#039;!  We met years and years and years (and years) ago, at a beach (maybe) meeting of social psychologists.  I was a very young student, there with my future husband, Dave, and I met Jamie and you. (I think?)
Anyway, tell him I say &quot;hi,&quot; plus, I have a new book coming out next week, called &quot;The Superior Wife Syndrome.&quot;  If you&#039;d like to get a (free) review copy, let me know and I&#039;ll see if I can get my publisher to spring for one!
By the way, your story about multitasking was funny and great!

		<description>Ruth, 
Nice to see you also survived being in the employ of a certain university system. Any plans to come out to the real West Texas? I&#039;m the editor of El Paso Inc. now and enjoy reading Texas Observer, and now your blog!
