I have always been excessively afraid of stepping on women’s toes. They do get stepped on, but it is not the issue, just as–as Norman Mailer once told me–bloody noses cease to be the issue once you put on gloves and begin to box in earnest. I haven’t taken up boxing, and my dancing days are stumbling down to a precious few. This is a sadness to my wife, who took ballet as a tiny girl and loved her Connecticut cotillions. Well, I tell her, life is more than a two-step. But in my heart I fear it is not; we are born (step one) and then we die (step two), and between-times the drumbeat of the pulse demands that we act out its rhythm.
–From “Women Dancing” by John Updike in More Matter (1999).
