He says he loves books with voice and irony … well, to me that would be … hhmmm—Virginia Woolf…? His not liking—and more to the point, not getting-- Anna Karenina is another clue to “his tastes re not mine."—Mary Gaitskill has an amazing essay on the two Annas in AK—but it’s a simplistic novel, let me stand corrected—and then, let me just say, the Alexandria Quartet would not be the *first* (or probably last) set of books that would pop to my mind as needing a sequel .. .<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The chief irony, for me, is that he seems to be exactly like the men Woolf had to deal with.
