By the time I read "Sleeping with the Dictionary," I was very much over the trope of word play and anagrams and Oulipo techniques. I appreciated her excellence in the field and if I hadn't read "Tree Tall Woman," I probably would have been less critical. But the fact that she spent two books deviating from what I liked most about her writing, I was at the point where I felt much less interested in her word play and wanted more of a story and narrative. There was a poem that caught my attention"

Kamasutra Sutra

This is a story I have heard:

Entwined in a passionate embrace
with his beloved wife,
the holy one exclaimed,
"I have reached enlightenment!"

His devoted partner responded,
"I'm truly happy for you, my love,
and if you can give me another minute,
I believe I'll get there too."

There was a story, and it was interesting, humorous and still had that feminist slant that was present in "Tree Tall Woman." I found this otherwise absent and, therefore, frustrating in reading this book.
