Katherine ashenburg the dirt on clean

"I must confess that I had Liz's exact job about 20 years ago at the Globe and Mail in a page that was called the Facts and Arguments page. Liz must then face the mess she's made of things, while facing her past at the same time.Īshenburg spoke with Shelagh Rogers about writing Her Turn. When the woman who broke up Liz's marriage submits an essay (she does not know Liz edits the column), it sends Liz spiralling.
