Gonna take a bath now... Will watch some Dragonball Z later on.

Bleh, I have to read Room with a View and it sucks so bad. I mean, I'm sure it's great, but right now it bores me out of my wits. Okay, E.M. Foster was a gay in the closet. Maybe I can find SOME subtext at least... *cries*

'Maurice' does have homoerotic content, which is why Forster wouldn't allow it to be published until after his death. As far as I know, it is a semi-autobiographical story about the hero coming to terms with his sexuality. It was made into a very good film with Hugh Grant, (pre-Four Weddings), and Rupert Graves as the love interests. I can't remember who played Maurice. Either way, the film's worth watching, the book's worth reading. As for RwaV, I'm not sure as I haven't read it, but the chances are they'll be subtext somewhere.

I sure hope it'll be improving anytime soon, because right now it's boring me out of my wits.

I've studied E.M.Foster intensively for my same-sex desire subtext class in gender studies. "Maurice" is fine, I like it, but RwaV... dunno. Knowing about Foster's biography, I can only hope there'll be something interesting soon!... T_T

Yeah, "Maurice" is autobiographical and it's not just subjext, IMO, it's quite out in the open. I always feel sorry for Foster that he didn't dare to come out in his lifetime... *sighs*
