Art & Individuality

Writing as a quest for learning the truth about oneself

Women’s suffering, bearing witness, society, feminist insight

Sadness, desire vs. identities, discourses to voice feelings

Refusing to indulge the reader, the novel assaults her/him

Narrative voice, ironic vision; fear, dream, desire

How double structure splits identity to complete it

The artist as a free woman, the air as a vital force

A woman’s desire: at once prison-house and place of freedom

Catherine’s quest to enact quenchless Desire and Will at once

Romance of Voss & Laura, suffering, pride, place, music-form
