Krik? Krak! Notes: Night Women, NY Day Women, Seeing Things Simply

Night Women
  • Sees her husband in her son
  • Compares son’s actions to her own line of work (following in her footsteps?)
  • Doesn’t like the women who do nothing all day (undo their weaving at night)
  • Weird references to sexual things when talking about her son
  • Talks about client’s wife before having sex
  • Thinking about son all the time (reason for work, watching him, protecting him)
  • Reliant on son too much maybe?
  • Dreamy tone, smoothed out?

New York Day Women
  • Happening in NYC
  • Bold mother’s voice (very distinct)
  • Mother’s voice = past conversations (things she’s said) or things she would say?
  • Lots of “My mother, who does this” My mother, who is like that”
  • Still following this women who reminds her of her mother
  • Mother has shorter, more to-the-point sentences, Daughter has longer, more descriptive sentences
  • Mother’s voice = playful, sassy even as if she’s actually talking to her daughter

Seeing Things Simply

  • Creepy old guy who bothers Princesse & doesn’t the town
  • No one knows about Princesse’s modeling status
  • Theme of femininity coming up again
  • Slowly gets more comfortable with Catherine
  • Why does she go see her? To get art advice? Money?
  • Although her models naked (unapproved), she still limits herself with no rum
  • Princesse sees Catherine as above her b/c she’s the artist? She’s rich?
  • Some connection b/w the two because she come everyday, but she didn’t know when she left
  • Story starts and ends w Princesse near cock fight
