Not that I identify with Rielle Hunter or think anyone I know is specifically like her precisely.įor one thing, most of the women I know would be careless enough to make a sex tape with a powerful and vulnerable man and would not be careless enough to have totally unprotected sex 100% of the time.
One of the reasons I dislike chick lit in general is that I feel it grafts weird desires for shoes and chocolate onto otherwise normal women. I only quit doing so, once woman after woman asked me if I was trying to make some kind of fucking point, when I just loved the book and thought it was an uncommonly real portrayal of how women I tend to hang out with think and act. I went through a time period where I compelled all my female friends to read Story of My Life. Alison Poole was also loaned to Bret Easton Ellis to be a character in American Psycho and Glamorama. After dating Rielle Hunter, however, Jay McInerney based Alison Poole, the star of my favorite of his novels, Story of My Life, on her. While Jay McInerney has stated on many occasions that he appreciates the vibrancy of New York city life because it provides inspiration for his writing, most of the many women he romanced were not immortalized in literature. He is currently on his fourth marriage, this time to Anne Randolph Hearst, one of the heirs to the Hearst fortune and publishing empire. I must confess, however, that my interest is as a huge Jay McInerney fan.īefore he was a famous novelist and short story writer, Jay McInerney was a remarkable New York city scenester who cut quite a swathe through society, literary, nightclub, and fashion circles with his very successful womanizing. I know most of the country is interested in Rielle Hunter (if they are interested in Rielle Hunter) because of her affair (and possible sex tape) with presidential candidate John Edwards. The obvious question, when someone like John Edwards betrays his marriage in a way which is so dangerous for his career, is why, even if he was unhappy, why? I was interested to see how Rielle Hunter came across on Oprah because she is obviously a set-the-world-on-fire compelling woman. I think I’ve been mistaken on this because, in point of fact, Oprah is an impressive nuanced interviewer, with a brilliant balance of coming across compassionate enough for her subjects to reveal themselves, without seeming like she is ever just giving someone a pass for bad behavior or opinions either. It was only my second time watching Oprah because I’ve always believed that she was one of those things like chick lit which turn women into the weaker sex.
