| After I interviewed that woman, it haunted me: her way of telling it, the mundaneness of the fact, the ordinariness of the woman who had one bad experience and then never had sex for the rest of her life. What she reveals are the private moments particular to these women's lives and the endearing mundaneness against which we all live our lives: a neatly made bed, windows darkening against the evening, a playful handwritten note, a quiet moment of togetherness. Her mundaneness is confirmed by the escapist literature she reads, works that dismiss the world in favor of fantasy; the image of lovers "clinging to one another" in the Harlequin romances parodies her relationship with Rudolph (78), since she tries to control all aspects of his life. |
