Claude, Nine titles 'Frauen aus ...' would not not be worth a photo. However I thought (putting) McGahern among and under (unter) women might be able to cause a smile. Oh well, strange is this blogger's dimmed brain's humour.

Et tu, Ruth? Now this is interesting! :)
Well, rather than pondering what visitors might think before or without reading the comments: These are interesting, not seldom fascinating reads. And: It's interesting to compare how authors in different countries, with different a background, do write about / handle the same / similar subject(s). Same goes for style and so on. If there is one thing disputable: the title(s) of this collection. Would any publisher come to think of a collection 'Männer in Afrika, Männer in Irland, Männer in Italien ...?
If I understand the title well, it seems a bit of an obsession. No women in Canada? Ah! well, better to be ignored than to be compared!

Again a misunderstanding. I thought it was about women, not written by women. So much more interesting!

Dimmed or not, you caught our attention! I was wondering about McGahern. He looked a bit lost among women.
ReplyDeleteBut I'm glad he is there. I dislike segregation! :)
ReplyDeleteLaughing heartily at this. Inspired, Sean. I never imagined that the wonderful John McGahern was such a globe-trotting lothario.
ReplyDeleteHa ha, Stan,
