...Turn confirms what Starting Over suggested: that Jill Clayburgh is Hollywood's most adorable klutz. Her skinny limbs jut out at odd angles, like folding yardsticks. Her face seems the work of an impish sculptor who added an Emmett Kelly nose to those handsome features. Her hair has declared war on itself. She hunches over her food as if protecting it from invaders, and swallows champagne in one gulp, as if it had an egg in it.

...planning on building a cabin in a cold-weather climate. And the accounts of Indian heigh-bors are as sensitive and revealing as any other account. But on her own lofty terms, Arthur's book is a failure of mission and accomplishment. Perhaps this quote from Kirkus--Jack and Jill for librarians with masters degrees--included in the press kit for the book, is a proper summation: "Island Sojourn places Arthur firmly in line to join the Hoaglands and Dillards and other astringent precisionists...

Her first album, which has sold well since Columbia issued it in March, is full of rue, muscle and hot sauce. Lacy J. works country territory, but with the bright sass and brass of a newcomer bound to make a mark.
