the first part can be seen as a bit more fascinating than the second. i was a bit disappointed in the fact that lorde sort of leaves the reader up in arms when it comes to her relationship w/ her mother. i was particularly interested in it, and also how the relationship w/ her sisters ended up.

i think part of zami's purpose is to illustrate lorde's efforts to create zami through various relationships w/ women, and to also discover the erotic in everyting that she does. i'm really interested in how her prior biomythography was influenced by and/or was a continuation of her famous essay on uses of the erotic.

but anyway...

sister outsider, well, i just love it.
