...Passion, in Colette's experience, dominated life, and she made her theme the pursuit of love, the treacherous ambiguities of sex. The Pure and the Impure, Cheri and The Ripening Seed pulse with an intensity unknown in French literature since Flaubert's letters to Louise Colet or Swann's obsession with Odette in Proust's Remembrance of Things Past...
...this year, Zorn passed for ten touchdowns and ran for six more. With careful use of the draft and a few deft trades, Seattle has put together a supporting cast that does Zorn justice.
