Will flesh out my take further on a reread closer to book club. But as I was watching The Bridge on the River Kwai I thought how interesting it is to watch two people in conflict both be completely wrong at each other. It got much more compelling for me closer to the end, as the national, political, professional obligations develop in nightmarish incompatibility to personal ones. Emerence resists the pull of history and only feels it bodily. But Magda and her life of the mind is powerless to these larger forces. Will keep on chewing for the next several weeks.
