In a NPR interview with Terry Gross, critic Maureen Corrigan suggests that Lotto and Mathilde, the dual parts of the marriage in Fates and Furies are “ not fully realized”. So I continued and admit in the end,I did enjoy it. So if Anne found merit in the book, I too would persevere, grin and bear it as the couplings continued- on sweaty breasts, on exposed bums in uncomfortable locales, in closets,well you get the idea. Anne my dearest friend whose earlier career demonstrated that she could enchant the dullest student with her classes in literature. I complained to my friend Anne who lectures to a book group in Rosedale. So I too began the book, but was soon put off, feeling it resembled light porn – or what I imagined “ light porn” to be. It seemed that everywhere I turned, someone was reading or talking about Fates and Furies.
