Here’s one of my favorite sentences in Afterbirth (which is a book that destroys the idealistic fantasies of what it’s like to be a parent):
“Cocaine was strictly for parties, to enhance my Tae Bo workout, to motivate me to clean my apartment, and occasionally to snort off a stripper’s ass during a threesome – whatever, it was the ‘90s,” writes Marta Ravin in the “Baby Powder” essay. “Anyway, after I got married, I slowed down the drug use quite a bit except for the rare bender over Yom Kippur.”
Why is this an example of good writing?
Because it reveals the writer’s struggle with addiction without making readers want to cry or call the police. Her writing lightens a very heavy topic without mocking it, and endears us to her.
Good writing shares personal experience that is real – but not too heavy
