Bad Grrlz' Guide to Reality: the Complete Novels Wild Angel And Adventures in Time And Space With Max Merriwell
“—Mark Twain If you read Pat Murphy’s afterword to the novel, There and Back Again, you already know that I not only write fiction under my own name—but also under the pseudonym Mary Maxwell. I enjoy the challenge of writing under a woman’s name; it has forced me to attend more closely to differences in the ways that women and men approach the world.
I do not regard myself as an expert on the ways of women—but I do consider myself to be a careful observer. Like Max Phillips, my namesake in Wild ...Angel, I have noticed the glances that women sometimes exchange, looks that comment on the foolishness of men. I have observed the mysterious ways in which women communicate, recognizing signals that men don’t know that they are sending—indeed, don’t intend to send.
I do not share Max’s belief that women have a civilizing influence on men. I also do not agree with Max in his misguided notions that women need to be protected.
I believe that women and wolves have much in common. Both communicate in mysterious ways.MoreLess
