a publié une critique de WOMEN par Hilton Als

"I have not catapulted myself past my mother's emotional existence."

5 étoiles

Feel pretty devastated!! Feel unable to "review!" Als has an uncommon ability to know (or guess at) the interiority of others, and his own, and to describe it. Weirdly light moment for me was when some of the characters from Please Kill Me came back through in the essay about Dorothy Dean.
