What's up with these women who choose these options? Like Coetzee's Disgrace, when she decides to have the baby. It's as if women take the burden of their communities (racism, xenophobia) and pay for it, in full. I fail to see the liberating aspect of these decisions. Am I too pessimistic? gloomy? feminist and bitter? So be it!Paolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18152774067570757540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8665953505789067280.post-6245108717617261492007-05-05T21:37:00.000-07:002007-05-05T21:37:00.000-07:00Wow, how incredible and direct!

The novel commands some resolutions that are very unexpected, especially her decision to stay there when the guy leaves. That, to me, was very impressive and significant, especially since Julie seems so spoiled and phallic-oriented, that one would never have foreseen her outcome. What a great novel!<BR/>I'm happy you came out safe&sound!Nicohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17992488548555174899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8665953505789067280.post-64974568575561257872007-05-05T14:15:00.000-07:002007-05-05T14:15:00.000-07:00This book was recommended to me during my own rela...This book was recommended to me during my own relationship with a man from a Muslim culture. Me, the pristine Caucasian woman. Hah! I recognized many things in her transformation but her ultimate choices were not my own. Otherwise...we wouldn't have met.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
