Week Ten, Entry Number One: An Interview with my Husband

I enjoyed An Interview with my Husband, despite the fact it was about a failing marriage. I thought the play of the dialogue was amusing, touching, and significant. The interview viewpoint shows the apathy and lack of full-blown emotion in the relationship (at least on the husband's part). The author’s voice was blunt but full of underlying passion. She loved her husband but was aware of the fact that he may not love her in the same manner. He loved the physical relationship; she loved the physical and emotional relationships.Her intelligence and perception are astounding but sad. I liked the switches from dialogue to narrative to reflection to lists. It kept my interest throughout the entire piece. I also think that the switches were able to better explain the background information of the piece. My favorite aspect of the piece was the honesty flowing from the narrator. She was honest with herself and her readers. Even though she discussed sexual intercourse, love, and disappoint, she didn’t censor anything. I connected with her; I felt like I was in her head.
