      Beverly Tweetmaker Retweeted Dolly Parton

      Perfect timing, Dolly. I just finished Bernard Malamud's "The Natural" and was about to tweet some thoughts about it. :-)https://twitter.com/DollyParton/status/980910503416549376 …

      So, several folks have suggested that the book is better than the movie, and while I agree that the ending was better I just couldn't get over how horribly Malamud wrote about women and relationships.

      Like at one point I looked up his bio because I was wondering if he had ever actually been in a relationship with a woman. It read sort of like how a 16-year-old boy imagined a relationship with a woman.

      For example, when Roy first meets Iris, he almost turn around because, despite being pretty, she's a little chubby. It felt odd coming from the protagonist. And I feel like there were a couple other similar scenes.

      And then with Memo, he had this sense of entitlement--"I'm a nice guy doing what I'm supposed to! Why don't you love me???" It's like Roy Hobbs would've been an MRAer or an incel in the 21st century.

          And I get that for lots of folks it's just a baseball book so they could overlook it. But to me, the relationships with Memo and Iris were pretty damn central to the story. And I just couldn't get invested in either one.

          Anyway, now I'm curious to know if anybody else picked up on that. If you've also read The Natural, I'd love to hear your thoughts!
