I brought this message to hundreds of residents during Noor’s two-month campaign for the state senate. We vote because it’s a right enshrined in our Constitution, and one that we must exercise. It is not something that needs a long explanation. I can express the importance of voting succinctly. In the United States, one of the greatest democracies in the world, we have one of the lowest voter turn-outs, which is a disaster and a disgrace. Worrying who is going to vote and why is an afterthought, a privilege. I disagree with those who argue that educating voters on the issues or candidates is crucial to the process. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Presumably because she is so "inhuman," the Duke does not devour Wolf-Alice. Since he does not belong among humans or wolves, the Duke is terribly lonely. Even wolves would not accept the Duke, because he eats his own kind. To the townspeople, he is an abhorred ally of the devil, but their attempts to scare him off are hopeless because he is not afraid of garlic or Christian symbols. When the moon comes out, he becomes ravenous and devours humans and human corpses. The Duke is a lonely, invincible creature who does not cast a reflection. Exasperated, they send her to live with a werewolf called the Duke. She learns to cooperate with the nuns in order to get food, but they cannot break her of her animal habits. Once they realize she is human, they bring her to live in a convent. Peasants discover Wolf-Alice sleeping next to her wolf mother, whom they shot to death. ![]() What distinguishes Wolf-Alice most from other humans is the fact that she is unaware of her own mortality. Even though she is physically a woman, "Nothing about her is human except that she is not a wolf" she runs on all fours, is nocturnal, howls rather than speaks, and does not wear clothes. ![]() ![]() ![]() “People’s marriages were like two-person religious cults, impossible to understand,” thinks Cory as he cleans a house. Wolitzer’s talent shines in lines that say more in a sentence than most writers do in paragraphs. One more complaint before the good stuff - there’s too much foreshadowing. The issues are complex, but some readers may wish the characters would simply act rather than reading paragraphs about what might happen if they do. ![]() ![]() There’s also Frank’s benefactor and former lover, Emmett Greer’s first love, Cory and her best friend, Zee.Įach character gets chapters that go deep inside their heads. Greer Kadetsky is the young woman in the opening chapter and the feminist icon she meets after a campus speech is Faith Frank - “a couple steps down from Gloria Steinem,” as Wolitzer describes her. If you liked the sprawling narrative of The Interestings, The Female Persuasion follows a similar structure, spanning a little more than a dozen years. And in the more than 400 remaining pages of The Female Persuasion, Meg Wolitzer tells a story about womanhood, ambition, ego and ideals. In the next 30 pages, she meets the woman who inspires her. In the first 15 pages of Meg Wolitzer’s new novel, a college student is groped against her will, setting in motion a life devoted to female empowerment. ![]() |
