im always impressed by the sheer diversity of renault's Bad Mothers when it sounds like she only had one of them herself, but im even more impressed & endeared by hilary's staunch refusal to examine her own emotions. anyway, im only taking a breather to bang out some thoughts
just started on return to night and like, how does mary renault so accurately describe the frustrations of being in an oppressed group while semi-absolving/glossing over the actual source of oppression? im gonna kick david's ass
