Sylvia Smith, 67, Chronicler Of Normal Life
"The book, a plainly written, deadpan chronicle of an ordinary life, seemed to push the allowable boundaries of ordinary, entering an edge-of-space world where critics quarrel over literary metaphysics. Reading 'Misadventures,' they were divided over whether they saw a bad joke or a kind of outsider-art masterpiece." The New York Times 03/02/13
