This is something that despande talks of in this eassy collection and i think you should be reading it. Are all books written by men 'men's literature' and not to be read by women. So how does stuff writen by women account for 'women's literatur'? Bolo bolo. Patriarchal social system, i suppose. Not your fault. ;)Manasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05629999034814057166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19632102.post-1144152331661298322006-04-04T08:05:00.000-04:002006-04-04T08:05:00.000-04:00Wow, it really makes me want to read her...

It also talks abt women's sexuality and reading it I really admired how she has depicted those scences in a very simple and natural manner, dwelling upon the potagonists thoughts, so that they do not kinda pounce upon you. This style of hers is really nice for most of the times intimate moments are dicussed so coarsely that even if they are intended to talk of a thought process or self-discovery (as in the novel's case) it is lost upon the reader. Shashi Deshpande's language is very easy flowing and if her oration is similar, i would definitely want to hear her talk. Do read her books. I have heard 'The Long Silence' is one of her best novels. I havent been able to lay my hands on it yet, though of course some day.Manasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05629999034814057166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19632102.post-1144065615977972472006-04-03T08:00:00.000-04:002006-04-03T08:00:00.000-04:00Wow.. sounds like a great collection!

But I haven't read anything of hers. Should try this out!Shruthihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00635222842257175541noreply@blogger.com
