But the thing is, I can support the idea that this is the way some women go through life, because that is true and valid. Maybe you could criticize me for being uncomfortable with how raw Animal is, and say that is a sign of my learned ideals of femininity. ![]() And yes, truthfulness is hard to convey in art, but I’m not sure I would celebrate Taddeo’s vision of womanhood or even say it is accurate. ![]() The latter intention is a hard balance to strike - and I think Taddeo overshot with this one, trying to portray this sort of radical truth, perhaps. This might sound a bit pretentious, but there are books that are meant to be books, and books that are meant to be art. I appreciate a book that brings out discomfort in the reader, because that is often a sign of growth, but I don’t think Animal brought me to any kind of new realization. ![]() I think the closest I can get is “uneasy”, but not in a way that makes me think. ![]()
