He felt himself as a little boy again, yearning toward the future, straining to keep up with his older sisters, buffeted by their energy, their closeness, a throng of Amazonian arms and legs growing up over his head. Then breasts he could remember and other fascinating parts he had caught glimpses of through keyholes, half-shut doors, coming out of the surf at the beach, slick and brown. They had been playful with him, generous, natural. He loved their beautiful bodies openly, admired at supper their elbows, long hair, brainy talk.
And he had listened to their constant, ongoing discussions of what so-and-so was like; what so-and-so said at the end of the party; whether this or that teacher was good-looking or whether he really cared. It was like living in a cloud of feminine intuition.
His parents had been too old to interest him much, they were grizzled, sexless, devoted to golf. What involved him—obsessed him—emotionally, were his sisters. He had learned each of them by heart, all four of them, through continual worship, through fear, through pleasure. So his sisters were what he knew about women to start with. It was a lot. How women talked, what made them cry. Their smells, subliminal, intoxicating, which changed from minute to minute.
