" Mrs. Craddock - a sultry novel by Somerset Maugham

[The Surfside condo disaster: Critical structural dangers were ignored The disaster in Surfside, Florida is indicative of the abysmal state of social infrastructure across the US, where every aspect of life is subordinated to the drive for profit.] *** I just finished reading this sultry ( for its time ) novel by Somerset Maugham. The old themes here of one sided love, smoldering sexual passion, marital mismatch. Perhaps sexuality in human beings will… More always border on tragedy . What would Dr. Sigmund Freud think of Mrs. Craddock ? Aware of her own voluptuous beauty , she wanted a man would literally sacrifice his soul for HER . She would WORSHIP him . And he would be HER MASTER ! Not quite third wave feminism in the USA today. Lyrics from the musical " Carousal " : "When you grow up my son, when you grow up my son I hope you're a bum like your father was Cause a good man ain't no fun ! "
