My Meeting with The Girl With Three Legsby Phyllis Chesler http://www.phyllis-chesler.com/1045/girl-with-three-legs Be the first of your friends to like this. Excerpt: Soraya Miré is a beautiful and talented Somali feminist, a filmmaker, and the author of a new and daring memoir titled The Girl With Three Legs. Soraya lives in Los Angeles and she has the Hollywood-speak down pat. Everyone is "darling," and "honey," things are "awesome." But, through it all, one can still see the Somali African in her. She greets people on the street, café waiters—mere strangers—with warmth and humor, with an easy familiarity, just as if they were clan or tribal members. "What a funny dog! And how are you today?" She wears a strong Biblical fragrance: Frank Incense, a "spiritual body oil," which I imagine the Queen of Sheba might have worn on her visit with King Solomon. She keeps her main stash in a jeweled, French-African perfume bottle. | |||||
