support women's rights, and women's wrongs!
the power of women's narratives is that if it is told lyrically enough - the way only a woman can - i can be moved to cosign marital infidelity. the girl can't help it! she's an artist, and above all, she's french! besides, isn't it just so annoying when your husband loves you?
flippancy aside, this book has revelations in it that make it required reading for any girl who's ever felt out-of-place in a relationship, a social group, or in one's purpose in life as a wife, mother, woman, artist, human. cheating on your boring husband can apparently help reveal those things to you, if you're a girl. if you're a man, jury's still out. ask Henry Miller i guess.
this one is for the girls who want to bite into life, to tear it apart between their jaws, who want to relish in the smoky din of a seedy cabaret, who want to drink cheap wine and wear fine perfume, who want to wallow in pits of sin and crawl their way back to sunrise on their hands and knees. it's for girls who want to Live. great book to cap off women's history month.
