''I'll be reading along, and — smack! there's my name,'' marvels Foster. ''It's just totally weird.'' Here are a few of her appearances:
Me Talk Pretty One Day
David Sedaris
Excerpt: ''Pascal, the shop owner, handed me a popular French gossip
magazine featuring a story on Jodie Foster and her new baby. Pascal...is
'aped over Jodie Foster' and owns all her movies on videotape. His dream
is to frost her tips while asking behind-the-scenes questions about
Sommersby.''
The Corrections
Jonathan Franzen
Excerpt: ''Everything about Becky Hemerling sickened Denise — her C.I.A.
education...her vocal adoration of Jodie Foster, the stupid fish-and-bicycle texts on her T-shirts.''
Magical Thinking
Augusten Burroughs
Excerpt: ''Malibu would, in the end, hate men because of me. She would
gain weight, not shave her legs, cut all her hair off, and work in a
bookstore named Womynfire.... I would be forced to literally tear the
Chastity Bono and Jodie Foster posters down from her bedroom walls.''
