気になるI Don’t Knowを簡単リサーチ。などの情報がたくさん!!「ロック」のカッコ悪い部分を全て詰め込んだような作品。ヴォーカルのズッコケ方が尋常じゃない。中島美嘉は企画ものではアホみたいなことをやってバラード曲を出して締めてからアルバム発売。というのが売り方..

とはいえ、ポール・サイモンがいかに素晴らしいアーティストであるか、このＣＤを聴けばその魅力を十分に窺い知ることが出来るでしょう。彼の詩と音楽の世界をこれから知りたいと思う人には、最適な入門盤とも言えます。そして、ポール・サイモンの世界に既に魅了されているファンにとって、このアルバムの最も魅力的なのは未発表のライヴを５曲収めたボーナスＣＤだと思います。「Duncan」「American Tune」は特に素晴らしいです。

難を言えば、2002年に発表されてその2年後に発売されているのに何の追加もされていない点。ライヴＣＤではＳ＆Ｇ時代の曲も入っていますが、どうせならソロのみの曲に絞って、さらに70年代中盤から80年代中盤のライヴから未発表音源を出してくれたなら、さらにこの作品の価値が上がったことでしょう。

発売側のポールに対する思い入れがあまり感じられない点、それだけが残念です。

A most amusing story, and quite impressive for Allison Pearson's first novel. A work of fiction, . . . but not quite, because she herself has quite a career while raising children. Funny, . . . but not just that, because it also brings to mind the eternal questions in every working mother's mind.

Nonetheless, the book is meant to amuse, and not to ignite a fiery debate over the eternal dilemma of career versus motherhood.

Humourous in the style of "The Nanny Diaries", but more of it derived from keen observations of the actual lives of women like the main character. And unlike the other book, ought to be checked out by men, too, especially those married to the likes of Kate Reddy.

See also, if you have access, Allison Pearson's essay in the 12MAY2003 issue of Time magazine, "THE MOTHER'S ALPHABET: A Working Mother's Day, from A to Z".

( Allison Pearson is not to be confused with Australian Alison Pearson, an expert and writer on rainforest plants. Our Allison is NOT juggling THAT many balls at once. :-p )

And the audio editions allow even working mothers with no time to read the book, to enjoy . . . and perhaps feel at one with the author.

The nature of the story and Pearson's writing style make the audio editions just as good as the books.
