This discussion covers Free Women 4 – p. 443 – 528


Free Women 4 – Everybody’s crackin’ up ‘til Anna cries and calm is restored, ‘cept for Ivor and Ronnie, who get kicked to the curb.

Black Notebook – For a few years, the Black Notebook loses its purpose as Anna becomes a clippings collector until, finally, she records a dream that questions what is real and what is fiction.

Red Notebook – Ditto the Red Notebook, but these clippings are related to violence and the use of the word “freedom”, but then ends with s story of CP member Harry and the death of his communist fantasy.

Yellow Notebook – Short story ideas for love in this Modern Life.

Blue Notebook – Lots of angry and crazy – mostly crazy – sex and arguing with the various personalities of Saul Green, as Anna chronicles her descent into chaos.
