In this book, there is a librarian who has relations with a bear (OMG I just noticed the arm around the bear on this cover.) Some reviews I've read have found deeper meaning to these events but it's a bit uncomfortable for me as the reader! Luckily the internet exists so I can read these funny reactions before I write my review. https://imgur.com/gallery/uf3YE

dixi_e This has been in my TBR for too long! How was it?? 7y
ReadingEnvy @dixi_e there is a lot of beautiful writing about nature and solitude but there is also a bear .... It is a quick read! Get to it! ;) 7y
Billypar I recently read an Edward Albee play, 'The Goat' along similar lines- man falls in love with a goat and tries to explain this to his wife. Sounds like it could have been funny, but not so much, at least not on the page. 🐐 7y
dixi_e I dream of locating a used copy with the ‘sexy‘ cover and a strangers annotations😳😁... I also want to see what made it prize worthy. Might be a good follow up to my current read,![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)

TampaReadingEnvy @Billypar and in this book, it isn't funny, in fact the level at which you can empathize with Lou or at least sympathize is an extraordinary feat by the writer I'd say. She's been disappointed by both men and women in her life 7y
ReadingEnvy @dixi_e it's good to have dreams! 😏 7y
vivastory @Billypar I saw a performance of Albee's "The Goat" & it's not funny live either. I recall a lot of the laughter was because of how uncomfortable the audience felt 7y
