But the second, while it hit higher highs, always felt off a bit to me--probably because Klavan's understanding of women, even 1980's radical feminist women, is not his forte.<br /><br />But then again, my love for fable is often balanced by a distaste for grotesque satire.Chestertonian Ramblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550643992523840950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4025264318423694875.post-60523655307655049812010-10-05T07:53:58.765-04:002010-10-05T07:53:58.765-04:00Thanks!
