Re: JCO: Marya: A Life

Cyrano, thanks for the input (sorry, I don't agree that Marya had a "hot" relationship--I don't think she even slept with him).  I'm actually looking for an interpretation of that particular scene with Imogene when they are looking at the pictures of Dickie on Imogene's bed. The question arises as to whether Marya's attachment to Imogene is repressed lesbianism; Imogene's invitation, if it was one, would have been for other reasons, imho.  My classes have spent several sessions hotly debating this scene, so I'm interested in input from those who have studied the text.
