The quote I have chosen is by Boris Pasternak it states “Literature is the art of discovering something extraordinary about ordinary people and saying with ordinary words something extraordinary. This quote is perfect for my story choice because it does tell us something extraordinary about ordinary people. “Another Evening at the Club” employs ordinary words to unveil the extraordinary inner struggles of a middle-aged woman. A woman who has needs, and personal desires. Desires that she really isn’t allowed to even speak about. There are societal constraints, and longing for personal fulfillment. This story uncovers how women had to listen to the man of the house, back in those days. Men are the head of the household. The women had to listen to their husbands. They didn’t have their own independence. They wanted their independence back. Literature is an art, it helps us to discover a whole new world thru their words.
