Life’s Short, Talk Fast: Fifteen Writers on Why We Can’t Stop Watching Gilmore Girls
Being “Gilmored” and what this says about mothers and daughters, social norms, pop culture, and self-perception (Stars Hollow, Connecticut; 2000 to 2007, streaming 2014 to today): Did you watch Gilmore Girls when it aired on network TV from 2000 to 2007? Or, any/some/all of the 153 original episodes (excludes the four-part miniseries spinoff) streaming since 2014?
If no, you might assume Life’s Short, Talk Fast: Fifteen Writers on Why We Can’t Stop Watching Gilmore Girls isn’t the book for you. Like you I hadn’t watched a single full episode, but found myself consistently moved by the candid, engaging, and well-written essays, unlike other collections unevenly appealing.
Like the TV “dramedy” series that’s made entertainment history, these mini-memoirs are like literary episodes that range from comedic, poke-fun-at-your-younger-self to serious. All offer something meaningful about a “cult” show they saw some aspect of their lives portrayed. Freya North felt “one of the cast”; Joanna Rakoff says it “changed my life.” Do you believe a TV show can be that influential?
Why don’t we first start by meeting the mother-daughter attached-at-the-hip team at the heart and cent

Emma Lee-Potter
I’ve loved Jilly Cooper’s books since I was a teenager. Emily, her very first novel, started life as a serial called Circles that she wrote for 19 magazine. She later completely rewrote it, and like every other reader I was hooked from the memorable first line – “If Nina hadn’t bugged me, I’d never have gone to Annie Richmond’s party.” And if that hadn’t happened, as you’ll no doubt remember, heroine Emily would never have met the wild, irresistible artist Rory Balniel and been whisked off to his ancestral home on a windswept Scottish island.
Jilly Cooper has written a multitude of bestsellers since and the great news is that her sparkling new novel is just out in paperback. Jump! is set in the glamorous world of jump racing and like Riders, Polo and Wicked before, it features all the favourite Cooper hallmarks – witty one-liners, a massive cast of characters (the devastating Rupert Campbell-Black makes a welcome return), gorgeous countryside and lots of steamy sex.
This time round, Cooper’s heroine is sweet-natured Etta Bancroft, a widow in her sixties who’s spent her life waiting hand and foot on her domineering philanderer husband. When he dies, her dreadful children force her to move into a “blot on the landscape” bungalow near them. They not only expect
