JEFF:
"I discern an anti woman bias in "Lila" as well.
RICK:
I've heard people mention this before and I still don't see it.
Granted
Lila (the character, not the book) is no compliment to feminsm--- but
I
don't see anywhere that Pisig says all women are like Lila (I
strongly doubt
he would). Now we're into literary criticism--- Is Lila supposed to
represent all women, or all just all women like Lila. I suspect the
latter
David Lind writes:
Hmmmm....seems there aren't any real redeeming characters in the book
save phaedrus (perhaps) (and the gentleman who gives him a lift to the
grocery store) :o) - So, maybe it's just that the only female in the
book is less than complimentary that has some folks feel that way.
