She accumulates awful novels from the '50s or the '20s or the 1890s, buying them at garage sales or stealing them from furniture showrooms, and reads them furtively in the bathtub. She has a large collection of books with the name "Polly" in the title, most of which are terrible. + Get the current Polly Shulman column + Browse the Polly Shulman archive Bookmark http://www.salonmagazine.com/mwt/shul/
