Following the CCBC discussion of Tenderness earlier this summer, our colleague Joan Thron (Univ. of Wis. - Green Bay) observed that both Lori and Eric were "technically innocent," i.e., he did not *actually* murder her and she had not *actually* been sexually active. Joan and I mused as to whether or not such a condition as "technical innocence" is even possible.
As odd as such a consideration might seem at the outset, perhaps Innocence is one of the themes Cormier explores in Tenderness?
