"The Unicorn Prayers" by T. M. Carvett (sexual displacement).
Fiddler: 10, 10, 10
"The Unicorn Prayers" by T. M. Carvett (tcarvett@earthlink.net). Review by Fiddler. The unnamed girl who is the protagonist of this story had a fond father and a strict mother. Then the mother died. The girl "acts out" as the psychologists say. She tries to be perfect and to _be_ her mother. When that doesn't work, she turns her emerging sexual feelings into art and into sluttishness. This isn't a very explicit story, but it is a very erotic one. It is also a _story_. It adds another name the line of Michael K. Smith, Tom Bombadil, and few others who write stories which deal with issues. Ratings for "The Unicorn Prayers": Athena (technical quality): 10 Venus (plot & character): 10 Fiddler (appeal to this reviewer): 10 |
