Who is babe walkers dad

Despite her efforts to be a lawyer — mostly refusing to answer the phone and repeatedly firing her superiors — Babe writes her resignation letter on day two: "I realize now that as a lawyer, it was my obligation to be under oath at all times. So when I told you your boots were cute, I perjured myself. Alas, everyone and everything is a ridiculous stereotype, but that's kind of the whole point. Babe Walker — whoever she or he? She's also crude, mean and offensive — by all means a terrible woman you should rightfully hate.

But maybe you also secretly love her? Classic white girl problem. Toronto writer Rosemary Counter has way too many white girl problems to get into in this space.

TC: Right. Or that we need to stop eating. Everyone sees Babe differently. The one thing that I find funny is that Babe is not blond in the book. She has a blond moment when she dyes her hair lighter. You create all these assumptions based on the way someone speaks and what they say and eat and the way they exercise and where they live.

You create this caricature in your mind. To your question, I think there are all these assumptions made about who Babe is. The only real image of Babe is her self-portrait when she is in front of a mirror. So I think there is an assumption about who she is and what she looks like. Even Tanner and I have different versions of what she looks like.

TC: I think people aspire to some of her lifestyle. She has funky crazy friends that she has intense relationships with, and there is this drama about her that satisfies that itch that reality stars satisfy.

I think people like that. People like to imagine themselves in those situations. We try to use Babe as an example of the most extreme way someone could react to these pretty universal situations. She says whatever the fuck she wants, and we all want to do that sometimes.

Or should she be? DC: We had sold a lot of copies of the books, and it was definitely a success story. How far can we take it? We live in New York. We thought that was interesting. TC: A big through-line for us is that we like to tell stories. Shipping details Estimated ship dimensions: 8. Return details This item can be returned to any Target store or Target.
