![]() Next year will mark the 40th anniversary of Sophie’s Choice, which also has some bizarre sexuality in it too.Īnyway, this book is about a man growing up with a famous feminist (radical according to the movie, but rather mild here, but certainly ahead of her time) mother. It’s not weird that the book explores sexuality in a different way than we’re talking about now, but it is weird that it was reprinted without question. And all this is additionally strange because this is a 40th anniversary edition, so it’s a reprint, a brand new audiobook reader and new entries. ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s about sexual violence, but it’s handled with such a kind of weird absurdity that I couldn’t process it at first and then kind of let it blur by and since it wasn’t revisited, I just went with it. It’s generally very good, but there’s a weird weird weird scene in the very middle of it that made me want to quit. This book was a huge hit when it came out and won several awards. ![]() I am trying to figure out books from the late 1970s and early 1980s, because it’s like the first time that authors really wanted to dig into sexual politics in some ways that are interesting, definitely alarming, but also handled with a kind of lack of care, or certainly a different context. ![]()
