ejune: lacking knowledge or experience; uninformed
As in: a line from the NY Times' review of Joan Didion's A Year of Magical Thinking: "Hard sweet wisdom. That 'hard sweet wisdom'-the literary critical phrase that once seemed strong- after experience feels jejune."
Read the entire book review here. If you haven't read the book, you should. It is an emotional and very visceral account of the grief the author feels following her husband's sudden death. Not an overly sad or sentimental book, just a very real account of grief by a very smart and sad woman.
