The Golden Notebook

"Clarissa's copy of the The Golden Notebook lay on the chipped white nightstand of the attic bedroom where they still slept alone" (98)

The Golden Notebook was written by Doris Lessing. It is much like Mrs. Dalloway due to its involute structure and its themes of madness and female sexuality. Mrs. Dalloway and other novels overshadowed The Golden Notebook in brilliance, just like her love for Richard was overshadowed by her love for Sally.

    solid research.. how does Cunningham fit into this? he's the piece I'm not seeing in your entries -- the author as crafter
