註釋

In 'The Flaw in the Crystal', May Sinclair delivers a poignant narrative that probes the boundaries of consciousness and the fragility of human relationships. Sinclair, a proponent of imagist philosophy and stream-of-consciousness technique, weaves a story as much about inner psychological landscapes as external reality. Set against the backdrop of the early 20th century, the novel employs a subtle yet powerful commentary on the roles and limitations placed on women during this era, expressed through meticulous prose that reflects Sinclair's literary contemporaries, such as Virginia Woolf and James Joyce. May Sinclair herself was not just a spectator of the unfolding modernist movement but an engaged participant, infusing her works with the intellectual and philosophical currents of her time. Motivated by her own experiences with the suffragette movement and her exploration of psychoanalytical theory – particularly the ideas of Jung – Sinclair's writing becomes an exploration of human consciousness and the psychological intricacies of her characters. Her narrative mirrors the complexities of the spiritual and material dichotomies that she observed in society. 'The Flaw in the Crystal' is an indispensable read for enthusiasts of 20th-century literature and those interested in the evolution of feminist narrative forms. Sinclair's exploration of metaphysical themes through the lens of a female protagonist makes for a compelling narrative, intricately bound with the broader questions of personal freedom and spiritual transcendence. The novel stands as a testament to Sinclair's narrative deftness and an eloquent reminder of the delicate interplay between one's inner life and external circumstances.
