"How do we know what's true and what's not? Which is truer? To paint your mouth with lipstick or leave it its natural colour? Which is truer, to force a situation and make your own wishes prevail, or to give up one's desires, in order to avoid a clash? What's so absolute about our desires?"
pick#literaryworldtrip Brazil: Helena Parente Cunha „Woman in Mirrors“
A woman stands in between a three-way mirror and looks at her reflections trying to piece together a coherent self. This experimental feminist novel published 1983 dissects binaries like author-protagonist, pure-promiscuous, self-other in order to look at what it means to be a woman in a highly patriarchal world (and to write in this world) - also considering class and race.
