Of a Kind: The Insider: Marisa Meltzer →
ofakind: If there’s anyone with more nineties nostalgia than Marisa Meltzer, we’d like to meet her. The author of How Sassy Changed My Life: A Love Letter to the Greatest Teen Magazine of All Time and Girl Power: The Nineties Revolution in Music, this Cali-bred New Yorker has a deep penchant for (and knowledge of) the lost treasures of the decade past. And, despite a major case of post-India...

Re: The Last Unmarried Person In America
emilybooks: by Marisa Meltzer That first line of “The Last Unmarried Person in America”—“The great marriage boom of ’84 began shortly after Congress passed the historic National Family Security Act”—is such good science fiction that it took me several beats to realize it was in fact made up. Then Ellen Willis expands on it, noting that the Act abolishes divorce, prosecutes single people as...
