The Books I Read in 2012
The Edible Woman by Margaret Atwood
November 6, 2012
"For an instant she felt them, their identities, almost their substance, pass over her head like a wave. At some time she would be — or no, already she was like that too; she was one of them, her body the same, identical, merged with that other flesh that choked the air in the flowered room with its sweet organic scent; she felt suffocated by this thick sargasso-sea of femininity."
— Margaret Atwood, The Edible Woman
