#she writes letters to her fiance with the salutation 'dearest auntie'#this fiance is stanley edgar hyman (HYMAN! she somehow resists going for the obvious joke in every single letter so far)#notorious lit critic and cheater . but also they were in some ways deeply in love? it was complicated #he managed to pull THE first weirdest goth weirdgirl writer of modern america. and who could expect him to full live up #to the responsibility of wifing such a woman? well i could. but shirley apparently took it as it came #q
