To me, it was very much a memoir filtered through her exploration of these literary women's lives, rather than a social history of marriage or any sort of an answer as to marriage's enduring relevance (or lack thereof). It'd be interesting to see how others have interpreted it.Memoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03922151273874989122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936145743709676409.post-17437743486075746832015-06-02T14:18:27.819-05:002015-06-02T14:18:27.819-05:00Awwwwww, look at that happy dog on the sunshine!
...Awwwwww, look at that happy dog on the sunshine!<br /><br />I have read a lot about Spinster and am not super interested in reading it myself. That said, it got reviewed in the NY Times Book Review, and the LETTERS in the week that followed, I mean DAMN they were vicious. Some were supportive, and some were like "It's GOOD she's not getting married, there are enough selfish parents and spouses in the world already!"

I've been watching the conversations around it--"Is marriage over?" "Does marriage matter any more?"--in fascination, since these same people seem to think equal marriage=solution to gay inequality, even as the point out marriage's limitations in their own lives. It makes more sense as a "personal" memoir, though.<br /><br />That last pic is just the cutestCasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02177812350470523072noreply@blogger.com
