Me, reading Marian Engel

[breathedout]

Scene of a woman reading 18th-century journals and then receiving cunnilingus from a bear: "Oh wow, it's really interesting what Engel is doing here vis-a-vis the juxtaposition of the library with the bear! I like how her formulation of civilization versus nature doesn't just come down in favor of one or the other, but combines them in odd and unexpected ways! And also brings up the question of which is more important in crafting a national or regional identity!"
Scene of the same woman catching a fish and cutting her finger on its gills: "Jesus Christ, that is so gross. Just. So, so gross. I need a drink."
