you can find that particular suggestion in the archives (august 1997).
there were a lot of interesting thoughts. i know some women were upset
(before this metaphor) by the idea that franny had to be pregnant to have
an original thought - that the pregnancy shook her up and made her
reconsider her ideas about spirituality. so many women related to franny's
search without it ever occuring to them that she was pregnant, that they
felt belittled at the idea of it not just being intrinsic to her nature. i
personally don't have a problem with the idea - although i can't remember
if i did at the time. i don't think so.
