    I'm two years late, but you asked about Gloria Naylor's Mama Day and Linden Hills. Mama Day is a magical realism book about a matriarch who aides her descendants with superantural help. Linden Hills is about 3 generations of patriarchas who grew up in the same town, with the same name. I'd read Linden Hills first, than Mama Day (because of the magical realism).

    Hello ;-)

    Well in our feminist course this year we didn't touch Rich at all, instead we focused on de Beauvoir, Millett, Rose, Kristeva, Irigaray, Cixous, Anzaldua...etc. Most of all I liked an essay by Spivak about the subultern woman, the Indian widow who has to sacrifice her life as soon as her husband dies... I suppose you know it, right?

    Some years ago I read The Bell-Jar but i'd love to give it another try :) But i totally agree, her poetry was wonderful too...

    Good luck with you Phd! I'd be extremely interested if you chose the lit department but even for the theoretical one, please tell me what it'll be about ok? :D

    Greetings from Greece*!^_^

    Hello!
    Thanks for being my friend*

    I like your comments too, very much :)

    What else except Mrs Dalloway would you recommend? I have to admit...I am afraid of Virginia Woolf!! :P
    Joyce's Dubliners is my favourite, I can't find my way through Ulysses yet... and it has stayed in my Reading section for so many days now! :P
    But I've started with the context, analysis and introduction to major characters from the SparkNotes to help me...

    Ahh, don't remind me of the Penelopiad, it felt like a cold joke that a friend tells you and you can't help feeling ridiculous for laughing pretendedly... :-S

    I love Plath too, I was glad we had to write about "Daddy" at my last Uni exam this year and it was totally unexpected - the prof told us she'd give us a random poem to analyze in terms of feminist literary theory and I was thrilled she chose this one! :D

    Nice talking to you soho^.^ !! I'm Eva ;)

    PS- Phd of...?
