Pity For Women
Helen Anderson
Here is a book that makes The Hell of Loneliness and Dusty Answer look like Sunday School missals, that out Colettes-Colette. And that has little or nor excuse for being since it isn’t even well done. Briefly the story follows the sexual perversions of a frustrated group of women in a women’s hotel. Two women — rooming together — are closely linked, without any Lesbianism. One of them tried to start the other on the normal path, for which Nature intended her — but she is side-tracked into a love affair with another woman, and goes to live with her. There she finds herself driven into insanity by frustration as her competitors for Judith’s favors shut her outside. An unpleasant and unconvincing story, with long passages in purely subjective stream of consciousness, sex-driven, flow. A book that may arouse morbid interest, but that should be discouraged. ~ Kirkus Review
