I found this tidbit from my recent re-reading of Free Live Free\ninteresting:\n\nFree says??You like women, don’t you, Mr. Barnes?\n\n“Like them?” Taken off guard Barnes considered for a moment. “Not\nreally. I want them, and since I can’t have them, usually, I don’t\nlike\nthem. But I want them, I suppose you could say that. I admire Madame\nSerpentina.”\n\n\n\nI wouldn’t be surprised if this was Wolfe’s own attitude toward women\nspeaking through Barnes. He could find things to admire in some\nwomen, but\nhe didn’t really like them.
