Are you memeing me? How does a book about a seal have deep feminine characters?

Play it as it Lays, by Joan Didion
It would make even the most bitter robot empathize with a woman and problems that are uniquely female.
Some of the women in B.E.E.'s novels are pretty much ruined and sometimes quite human.

Yeah, well, it's a postmodernist novel and it's not strictly about the superficial seal character if you think about it. The seal is a symbol for the arbitrariness of modern aggression -- how man, despite not needing to "conquer nature" anymore, still feels obliged to ravish it, because it is his nature to be vain. There are a few woman characters in the book (some of the are seal hunters, some peace fighters and one female seal) and, let me just say that, towards the end, by virtue of contrast and comparison some touching and impressive relationships between men, women and nature are pointed out rather stylisically successfully.

>she's come undone
this one is so fucking funny to me because it literally has a scene where a fat woman meets a beached whale
still pretty good though. 'sgot a nice 'cultural snapshot' feel to it.
