I made this one as a stitch with a mutual ages ago, been meaning to do a proper job of it. decided to get it done while I was visiting friends in Georgia #literature #analysis #redscare
This sort of thing reminds me of the time in high school where I had to read Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison. But it’s a surreal, absurdist novel and high school me didn’t know what to do with that. I asked the teacher “so the narrator hit his head in the boiler room and went insane?” And she, very gently, explained to me that this wasn’t a novel meant to be read as if it were really happening.
I don’t think I really got it, but I ended up liking it anyway. Looking back it’s honestly pretty cool we were assigned that book.
