ОглавлениеTHE DIARY OF A YOUNG GIRL
I’ve just finished Anne Frank:
The Diary of a Young Girl.
It too spans age thirteen to fifteen—
it too covers young love, hating
one’s mother, and sibling rivalry.
The new edition has restored
some passages, such as Anne’s
description of female anatomy. She says
the clitoris looks a bit like a blister.
She describes everything she eats
(potatoes, rotten lettuce, fake gravy,
the occasional glut of strawberries)
everything she reads (genealogy, mythology)
and how the families in the attic fight
(often, and bitterly). Anne was also a gusher—
a chatterbox, as she says. But who can guess
what Anne would have said
about the last place she went.
