SHOCKER! Eat Pray Love Receives PG-13 on Appeal

Sony and director Ryan Murphy may not have had much to say about their strategy to reverse Eat Pray Love ‘s initial R-rating, but either way it worked.

Meet Elizabeth Gilbert, Unrecognized Public Intellectual

Elizabeth Gilbert , who—SPOILER ALERT!—married the guy she met at the end of Eat, Pray, Love , just published a new book about said marriage. But all she really wants is to be taken seriously as a smart person. It must have been tough for Gilbert, who had previously written three well-received if not bestselling books ( Pilgrims , a book of short stories, which a PEN/Hemingway Award finalist; the novel Stern Men ; and The Last American Man , which told the story of a man who moved to the Appalachian Mountains at 17 to live off the grid) to reconcile her lofty literary ambitions with the runaway commercial success Eat, Pray, Love , which has become a kind of middlebrow bible of self-discovery, so much so that she will be played by Julia Roberts in the film version.
