![]() ![]() ![]() 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. ![]()
