	Salon Books \| "Love Trouble" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Published almost two years after the death of its author (at 56, of a brain tumor), the book is a chronicle of sorts of Geng's life, a self-portrait of one of the best-regarded humorists of the past few decades.
		It's only enhanced by Geng's postscripts to each of the second section's essays, in which she divulges both the origin of the piece -- usually a newspaper clipping -- and the internal life that lent it its peculiar slant.
		Still, the look inside her mind is compelling, as much for aspiring satirists as for readers who find themselves increasingly curious about the mind in which all of this clever wackiness incubated.

	Humor Came Her
		As a new collection shows, Veronica Geng was among the funniest writers of her generation.
		Geng died on Christmas Eve, 1997, as tough a cancer patient as she was a writer and editor.
		Geng began working for The New Yorker in 1976, when the magazine still valiantly published epic monographs about orange crops, and the office still felt like a dysfunctional faculty lounge, with William Shawn as the presiding dean.

	Amazon.fr : Love Trouble: New and Collected Work: Livres en anglais: Veronica Geng,Ian Frazier (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		A compilation of two previously published collections, Partners and Love Trouble Is My Business, as well as newer work, this book confirms Geng as one of the most brilliant and encompassing satirists of the last few decades, providing readers unfamiliar with her writing with a concise volume of her caustic wit.
		Geng skewers the media, literature, sports and economics, but she's at her best when tackling political topics.
		Many of these function as self-consciously clear windows into Geng's thought processes and her friends' input (most notably, Ian Frazier, who also wrote the introduction), as well as hints of the climate of the New Yorker during the end of William Shawn's reign.

	Amazon.fr : Love Trouble Is My Business: Livres en anglais: Veronica Geng (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Geng (Partners) is continually amazed at life's vicissitudes, its gross unfairness, its unexpected comic moments and absurdities.
		In 24 short, talkative, urbane pieces, all but four of which first appeared in the New Yorker, she sounds off on the arms race, the outrageous cost of higher education, wine snobbery, human bungling in a hi-tech age, luxury dog kennels.
		Geng takes a premise and giddily runs with it ("I think Oliver North is the guy who married my sister"); the results are more often clever rather than truly witty.

	Is the Women's Movement in Trouble?
		In "Requiem for the Women's Movement," Veronica Geng argues that women in the movement are engaged in a host of meaningless activities to cover up their fear of confronting male power.
		She dissects the cultural feminists and the political feminists and even her own version of the socialist feminists until there don't seem to be any feminists left.
		Geng and the host of other critics are right in some respects.

		Some people believe that humorous fiction in The New Yorker has long been legally dead of inanition.
		Fans of Garrison Keillor and Veronica Geng, two of the magazine's steadiest contributors of whimsy, will disagree.
		But the most hilarious refutations of this charge have come from Author Ian Frazier, 35, an alumnus of the Harvard Lampoon and a New Yorker staff writer whose stories began bouncing off the wall and into the magazine some ten years ago.

		The world of his childhood, about which he wrote with such sincere feeling, is now so impossibly far from our own that it might as well be ancient Rome.
