Re: [UUPoly-L] Slightly OT - An Interesting Triad

[Timothy McKee <mknd17@hotmail.com>]

Joyce Carol Oates exhorts her aspiring writers to tell not their own story but other people's stories.   Still people tell their own stories.  I brought up THE SISTERS ANTIPODES by Jane Alison in this forum once as a cautionary tale about how to not do polyamory.  Someone has observed that the same stories happen over and over with the same vehemency as if they never happened before. In THE SISTERS ANTIPODES two men exchanged wives and daughters and years later one of the daughters died of a drug overdose.

 

I am sure the author will get lots of letters;  I don't know how many would suggest they look at some variation of polyamory which they seem to already have.
