“If men like Charles did not have wives, they would have to invent them. So useful for fending off the other women, when they get too close. If I were a man, that’s what I’d do: invent a wife, put one together from bits and pieces – a ring from a pawnshop, a photo or two snuck out of someone else’s album, a three-minute sentimental drone about the kids. You could fake phone calls to yourself; you could send postcards to yourself, from Bermuda, or better, Tortuga. But men like Charles are not thorough in their deceptions. Their killer instincts are directed elsewhere. They get snarled up in their own lies or give themselves away by shifty eye movements” Excerpt From: Margaret, Atwood. “Wilderness Tips.”
