I always talk about how in my relationship, like, obviously the patriarchy affects me in all kinds of ways. There's this idea that not having men present in a relationship takes a certain kind of stress off, which sexually is actually true. ![]() ![]() Book Reviews 'Her Body And Other Parties:' Be Your Own Madwoman ![]() ![]() I love the art, and the audio, and the planning, and the plotting.Īnd when I say a complicated relationship, it’s mostly because I am an introvert.

What comes after is mostly academic commentary.īut with the biography, the letters, and the journals long in the rearview mirror, the popular secondary works on Proust continue to appear in manic numbers. The usual run of a famous author’s remains is more or less set: first the (disillusioning) biography, then the (surprisingly mundane, money-mad) letters, and finally the (painfully naked) diaries, in which erotic obsessions that seem curious and fresh in literary prose look mechanically obsessive in daily record, as with Kenneth Tynan and John Cheever.
