"Are you tired of being nice? Don't you wanna go ape shit?"
This is a weird feminist sexual freedom novel from the 70's. She f*cks a bear. She FALLS IN LOVE with said bear. The metaphor isn't exactly subtle. Its just a little disappointing. I feel like as far as feminist literature about these types of themes, there is better stuff out there.
I think its still worth reading if you can bear it :D
Spoilers about why I found the book disappointing below:
Honestly was enjoying this book until the bear hurt her and she returned to society. I wanted to see this woman go FERAL, reject society and the rule of her sex/gender and truly experience freedom by becoming the weird lady that lives in the woods and f*cks a bear. But it didn't happen.
