First sentence: Read today in the context of T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land or Wallace Stevens's "Le Monocle de Mon Oncle" or William Carlos Williams's "To Elsie," Gertrude Stein's "Ada," Tender Buttons, and "Lifting Belly" appear remarkably free from the anxiety, restraint, and misogyny that dominate the sexual attitudes of texts by the male modernists.
