![]() ![]() Michael Richardson leaves her for another woman, and she can’t cope. At that ball, Lol Stein’s life changes forever. They go to a ball and he dances with a woman named Anne-Marie Stretter. It’s about a woman named Lol Stein who falls in love with a man named Michael Richardson. ![]() It’s a book with a plot and characters, that much is certain. The Ravishing of Lol Stein seems to exist on two planes–the physical and the intangible. But I want to say something about this book. This review can’t make you feel what I felt, holding the book in my hands, discovering the words on the page, all the moments in which images and scenes have flashed in my mind. ![]() I hate writing reviews because words never touch the experience of reading a book. Anything I write about it will be mired in my own history and my own memories. I’ll start there, with an admission of my own limitations, a confession that any review that I write will fail to encompass all that I felt while reading it and all that I feel all these months and years later. I don’t know how to write about Lol Stein. ![]()
