Why didn't you just do what you were told? : essays / Jenny Diski ; [introduction by Mary-Kay Wilmers].
"Jenny Diski was a fearless writer, for whom no subject was too difficult, even her own diagnosis with cancer. Her columns in the London Review of Books -- selected here by her editor and friend Mary-Kay Wilmers, ranged from subjects as various as happiness, social psychology, self-absorption and cats -- have been described as 'virtuoso performances', and 'small masterpieces'." -- Front jacket flap.
