I really enjoyed this book of short stories
Format: Paperback
I loved this book. It was the first time
I ever read anything by Simone De Beauvoir.
It is difficult but I think the title story
was my favorite, watching the character go
down hill so rapidly and in such detail
showing her growing obession was oddly
relatable, her self hatred towards her body
towards the end of the story
I would not try and presume to state what the
"moral" of the story was... but that is exactly what I am
going to do about now
check it....................
I think that the main Character should have
developed a concept of self outside her marriage
her marriage was her identity and when that fell
apart she had nothing...no sense of self
it was a compelling read a little uncomfortable
but I like being a littel uncomfortable when I read............
WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL?YesReportShare
