This was a very interesting story with which to begin an anthology. It’s a love story, and then again, it’s totally not. This married couple spent their entire lives pursuing a love uninhibited by physical contact, pursuing what they dubbed “satiety,” or total satisfaction. They loved life, yet in the end, their pursuit of a totally satisfying love and complete life was nothing more than a concept. “It was for the inordinate desire for joy that they forewent joy”—that thing they pursued most was the thing they despised most. It was the pleasure-delaying mentality taken to its ultimate extreme, and I’m pretty confident that Jack London thought them fools. I’m with him there!
