The Dirty Girls Social Club is described as a dynamic and sexy half-hour series about six diverse professional women living in New York City who have known each other since college. “We’re excited to work with Katori Hall who has successfully created exciting and complex roles for black women in the American theater and we’re confident she’ll continue to do so with ‘ Pussy Valley,’” said Carmi Zlotnik, Managing Director of Starz. Khaliah Neal ( 3½ Minutes) will serve as consulting producer. Jenno Topping ( Dawn of the Planet of the Apes) and Dante Di Loreto ( Glee) also executive produce. Yeah, sure, we're liberal, but that doesn't mean there aren't problems, because there are, and what these women run into seemed very appropriate to me.WGA Strike: 'Power Book II: Ghost' & 'Pretty Little Liars' Temporarily Shuttered By East Coast Scribes I've read criticisms of the book that say it presents Boston as less liberal than it is, and I think those criticisms are wrong.
The book takes place in Boston which, to be honest, was why I bought it. It was nice to read something that approached these issues honestly. There are things all these women have to deal with that come from being Latina and that's just the way it is. Nothing was presented as if I was being lectured, but nothing was glossed over and made to be okay, either. I also really liked the social issues that were a natural part of this book. I like the characters, I like their lives and their choices, I like their friendships. Less women would have worked better, maybe, because then the story would have been able to be more balanced.ĭon't get me wrong, I liked this book a lot. Now, I liked all six women to varying degrees but I didn't get enough of them in the way I wanted.
That device should have given the reader more insight into the world these women inhabit but it actually served to further separate them as it frequently talked about the lives they lead away from each other. I enjoyed this book but when it finished I realized that I wanted more but it wasn't because I was so enchanted by these women and their lives, it was because Valdes-Rodriguez tried to do too much and just didn't have the room for it.Įach chapter is told from the pov of a different sucia.
