Blurb (from back cover): "Wittgenstein's Mistress is the story of a woman who is convinced-and may ultimately convince the reader as well-that she is the only person left on earth. Presumably she is mad. And yet so appealing is her character, and so witty and seductive her narrative voice, that we will follow her hypnotically as she unloads the intellectual baggage of a lifetime in a series of irreverent meditations on everything from Brahms to sec to Heidegger to Helen of Troy. And as she contemplates aspects of the troubled past which have brought her to her present state, so too will her drama become one of the few certifiably original fictions of our time."
Opinion: Hated it. It is an exampled of a long writing class assignment of just write something for 10 minutes without stopping. None of it usually makes sense or is connected. This is just a very long example of this type of exercise. Painful to read.
