SIERRA MADRE AUTHOR MERRILL 
JOAN GERBER DISCUSSES AND SIGNS 
THE HYSTERECTOMY WALTZ

Monday, 05/13/2013 7:00 pm

Vroman's Bookstore

695 E. Colorado Blvd Pasadena 

Imagine being told before the age of forty that because you have an 
ovarian cyst, the surgeon wants to take out the "whole kit and caboodle." 
Imagine being told that "because you already have your children, 
who needs "all that," you can "keep the playground but get rid of the 
plumbing." Imagine watching a film strip at the hospital which assures 
you that though you will no longer have your female organs, you will 
still have romance in your life and will be "able to waltz the night away 
with your husband."

The Hysterectomy Waltz is a sharp and cynical, funny and tragic comedy, 
a story of marriage and motherhood under the threat of the knife, 
a tale of friendship and betrayal.

"It's truly powerful, and acrid, and barbed, and filled with wonderful, and unexpected, 
turns of phrase and above all it's shocking in its directness and understated 
anger and sadness and fear… it's an amazing piece of writing."—Cynthia Ozick

SIERRA MADRE TV 
SURVEY

Got a minute? The folks who run Sierra Madre’s two local TV 
stations - that’s right, Sierra Madre has two local TV stations - need 
your opinion on what you like to watch and how you watch it so 
they can make this local resource more fun and relevant to your 
lifestyle. 

 

We are doing this survey now because we are excited to launch 
a new channel, Channel 98. As you might know, Channel 3 on 
Time Warner Cable has been airing City Council and Planning 
Commission meetings, and other City government events, live 
for years and this important service will continue. But we are now 
adding Channel 98 as a commercial free, educational channel that 
will feature children’s programming, classic movies and TV shows, 
how-to shows, community special events and other interesting 
and eclectic programming relevant to our lives in Sierra Madre all 
presented without commercials and without fundraising. It is our 
channel, it is starting from scratch, and we need you to tell us what 
you want to see on it. 

 

Please take a few minutes to fill out this questionnaire either online 
at www.surveymonkey.com/s/X6VBWYB or drop it off at City 
Hall, Sierra Madre Library, or the Recreation Center by May 31, 
2013 and be part of creating something that will entertain and 
inform us, be unique to our special town, and make us proud. 
Thanks for the help! 


We’d like to hear from you!
