Post Factum Introduction to Bluebeard's Castle
I was inspired to write this post factum introduction to Bluebeard's Castle after reading the one penned by Vladimir Nabokov's for his novel Bend Sinister. On a first read that clever tragedy had seemed like an opaque and arcane puzzle, but on a second read I was seized by how the introduction clarified points that had been widely misunderstood by readers, and struck by how the novel s

| Delightful. Call me shallow, but my favorite parts were the description of all the Fortuny silk gowns. Those, and M. de Charlus' ridiculous downfall. Proust's realistic examination of life is as always unmatched, as is his honesty. He admits to not l ...more | |

| As an Ira Levin fan, I was shocked at how bad this is. I thought once we found out who the building owner/voyeur is it would get interesting, but that's when I totally lost interest. I saw that it was about to turn into an erotic romp between a woman ...more | |

is starting Sliver: Not really enjoying this so far. I've loved everything else I've read by Ira Levin, but despite its close parallels with Rosemary's Baby, Sliver has even stronger parallels to gross '90s thrillers. What used to seem edgy now just seems sexist. Maybe it gets better though...

| An odd, vicious little book of very short stories about various types of women. We get The Prude, the Perfectionist, The Mobile Bed-Object, etc. Each story portrays a different girl or woman in a very bad light. I found this collection refreshing, as ...more | |
“She stared into the flames, resigning herself to her fate. She now knew that she had fallen victim to a sociopath, and yet she didn’t care. No man is perfect; all men have their flaws, and you have to accept the bad with the good. Some men expect you to mother them, or make you into their maid. Others ignore you, or lecture you, or misunderstand everything you say, or are fussy about trivial things. A bad man can kill you with a knife, but a good man can kill you by boring you to death!”

“He hoisted her up in his strong arms, and she opened her eyes and looked up at him adoringly. She thought that the image must have carried a certain eerie romantic charm, like Dracula carrying off his victim.”

“For the first time in her life she wanted to be merged with another, to be carried away by voluptuousness, to be inside of the sublime. She looked into his eyes, and his irises were blank projection screens into which she poured all of her longing.”

“There are only two things: love, all sorts of love, with pretty girls, and the music of New Orleans or Duke Ellington. Everything else ought to go, because everything else is ugly. ”

“One may cover over secret actions, but to be silent on what all the world knows, and things which have had effects which are public and of so much consequence is an inexcusable defect.”
