I never saw the movie, but I read the novel when I was a child. I
remember a relationship between the main male character and a woman
who had been his teacher before the "procedure."
Now I have no copy for reference. Does anyone else?
Now I'm really curious to see if my memory is correct.
BTW--Introduction
I'm a human in-between professions who has read everything within
reach for as long as I can remember. I put together and earned a
women's studies BA (there still is no WS major at that university)
years ago.
Science fiction is a wonderful avenue for travel.
My all-time favorite short story is _She Unnames Them_ (1985) by
Ursula K. LeGuin.
I don't have an all-time favorite novel.
