"Finally I have wrapped my head around the language. Mrs Dalloway really demands the utmost concentration from its reader (never have I had to pay this much attention to punctuation), but that just makes it all the more immersive. Ordinary life is magical." — May 20, 2023 03:16PM

“Male fantasies, male fantasies, is everything run by male fantasies? Up on a pedestal or down on your knees, it's all a male fantasy: that you're strong enough to take what they dish out, or else too weak to do anything about it. Even pretending you aren't catering to male fantasies is a male fantasy: pretending you're unseen, pretending you have a life of your own, that you can wash your feet and comb your hair unconscious of the ever-present watcher peering through the keyhole, peering through the keyhole in your own head, if nowhere else. You are a woman with a man inside watching a woman. You are your own voyeur.”
