Fabienne,
If you found the chapters I wrote last night "sweet" it is because I was wolfing down more of those excellent Neuhaus chocolates while I was writing it!
And I moved one interview closer to the job in Switzerland, and will be staying in Germany till the end of the year, and probably trying to find a place on the German side of the Swiss border if I do. It is a wonderful opportunity. Keep your fingers crossed for me!
I will be writing more about Dupree's first time when I get home from work this evening...

--- Quote from: TH on November 24, 2006, 08:15:00 am --- Religious worldview, sexuality, cultural distinctives... will all cluster around how we answer the question about what is the ultimate truth.
The act of defining ourselves in lesser terms will leave us coming up short... with an insufficient perspective to deal with real life as it comes at us.
It is for this reason, that I don't necessarily see Ennis as being gay. It may well be that he was right in not defining himself with that term... in that the path he was on was in developing personhood rather than sexual identity... and that somewhere inside he understood that...

An interesting perspective Trail. I agree that viewing Ennis' struggle within the confines of his sexuality could be missing a bigger picture. After all, learning to express love, to be willing to sacrifice for that love, to take responsibility and come to terms with fears nurtured in childhood are acts of self realisation as a human being not just a sexual being. Sometimes we can lose sight of that.

this really made me think about the buildup to ennis & ellery's first time together.
:-*

My thoughts exactly. Didn't Ellery also suggest they start slow? A point of difference - the "more" game was hardly necessary with Ennis "jump the gun" del Mar!
