Being mostly house bound this past weekend (hopefully my final few skirmishes with this tenacious cold) allowed me time to read and watch some movies on DVD.
In addition to reading Samina Ali's Madras on Rainy Days and starting Toni Morrison's Song of Solomon, I completed The Red Tent by Anita Diamant and watched (among others) The Girl with a Pearl Earring.
We need to continue our (somewhat onesided) conversation about context; I thought frequently about this while reading the Ali directly after the Diamant.
But the theme I wish to explore in my next discussion is that which The Red Tent and The Girl with the Pearl Earring share. Any thoughts? Guesses? Anyone read/see either of these? Both?

Girl with Pearl - to me was about a woman who gave up her selfhood for an obsession with an artist. Red tent too?

Have you ever read The Bone People by Keri Hulme? I enjoyed it very much.
