This is another book that is so full of... ideas and thinking and newness, and that has so many visions and so much emotion in it, and that contains both so much I can identify with and so much that seems deeply foreign -- I don't mean ( Read more... )

[oops, previously commented using the wrong login.]

thank you -- that (_making face_) looks like it might be an interesting read. i see it was published in 1990, just about halfway between TBCMB and TBWCH.

one of the things i found so surprising about TBCMB is that i had heard of it, as you say, as "part of academic feminist canon." so i wasn't expecting so much of it to be so direct, so experimental, or so autobiographical. that's another reason it's taking me a while to process, i think.

(by the way... have i met you? were you at wiscon this summer?)
