520    "A woman aspiring to a contemplative life faces 
       innumerable obstacles-cultural, financial, sexual, and 
       metaphysical-that stand between her and the freedom to 
       live as she desires"--|cProvided by publisher. 
520    "In "a strangely ageless world somewhere between Emily 
       Dickinson and David Lynch" (Blake Butler), a cleaning 
       woman at a museum of art nurtures aspirations to do more 
       than simply dust the paintings around her. She dreams of 
       having the liberty to explore them in writing, and so must
       find a way to win herself the time and security to use her
       mind. She escapes her lot by marrying a rich man, but 
       having gained a husband, a house, high society, and a maid,
       she finds that her new life of privilege is no less 
       constrained. Not only has she taken up different forms of 
       time-consuming labor--social and erotic--but she is now, 
       however passively, forcing other women to clean up after 
       her. Perhaps another and more drastic solution is 
       necessary?"--Amazon.
