Quote of the Day | 1207
Anyone who knows Munro only by reputation – all those small-town spinsters and unhappy mothers – might be surprised to know how good she is on sex. “Falling in love, falling in lust, sneaking around on spouses and enjoying it, telling sexual lies, doing shameful things they feel compelled to do out of irresistible desire, making sexual calculations based on social desperation – few writers have explored such processes more thoroughly and more ruthlessly,” writes Atwood. Writing about female sexuality, Munro says, “you are doing something that nobody will be proud of you for. When you are writing you feel a necessity to go as far as you can. You feel wrong, but still not sorry.”
