So says Elizabeth Wurtzel, speaking about her abandoned fantasy of solving all the problems in the Middle East.
What’s more, Hillary Clinton is “an evil genius” and a “feminist subversive.”
The author of the mega-best-seller Prozac Nation (as well as Bitch and More, Now, Again) is about to graduate from Yale Law School. She has been a New Haven resident for the past four years, a fact that The New York Times just picked up on recently. (Read its article here). Castaway, New Haven Independent’s podcast interview series, caught up with her in her downtown apartment, where she lives with her pooch Augusta and a whole mess of books and CDs.
Among the topics discussed: Hillary or Obama? Whither feminism? Why law school? Will she write more memoirs? And what are her plans for the future?

I know she didn't say it, but it sounded like "it's an Obama Nation." I loved More, Now, Again and look forward to another book by her.
