When I’m asked what my favorite book is by someone I don’t know very well, I realize it’s a loaded question. I’ve thought about this a lot over the years. But, back to the point, it’s remarkable that both women and men have strong feelings about Judy Blume. I think this is something we’ve all kind of learned over the last few years. Blume herself offers good advice about those people, in that there’s no use engaging directly in heated arguments because there’s no winning that battle, and all it brings is frustration. It’s strange how universal Judy Blume is to almost everyone, well except the morons who want her books banned. First of all, off the top of my head I can only name two movies that start with a name and end with the word “ forever.” There’s Batman and now there’s Judy Blume, with her new documentary (directed by Davina Pardo and Leah Wolchok) that premiered this week at the Sundance Film Festival.
