Saki (1870, Burma-1916, France. Scottish)

Miguel MM (Y5C, 2006-07) sent me a link to some of Saki's stories. At that time I had just discovered Miette's Podcast and a recording on one of Saki's most popular stories, Tobermory. So here is all and more...

I love Saki's stories, in spite of the fact that he was a mysoginist. But then... I have the idea that a true misogynist simply doesn't relate to women, because he hates them. And as a woman, and a feminist, I really prefer to be ignored than mistreated, so there is where I got the idea that I'd rather find misogynists than machista men (meaning radical sexists). What do you think?
