Welcome to Litsy!

A good introduction. I think I kept my head above water for most of the book. Unfortunately most of the examples of postmodernism in action were from novels and artworks I was not familiar with so I struggled a bit with that chapter.

#lunchandabook or should I say "lunch" and "a book"?

Varied between the incomprehensible, banal, and unconvincing. Just didn't work as a humorous introduction to life on other planets.

Dear Canadians,
I'm sorry our U.S. representatives are complete a$$hats. We don't all agree with them. I can't even imagine how bad the smoke is for y'all. But your response to this nonsense is freaking epic.
Love, lil1inblue

#DynamicDs Day 24: #Dark - I devoured this book.

I‘ve never really given a thought about how all the books we read follow similar archetypes; precisely 7 as per this book.

Oh boy. It ends in a "meh" despite the subject being extremely interesting, mostly b/c the intro and chapter 1 weren't quite on topic; Frantzen is in literature, not history, so for him the narrative is important enough to spend a chapter on 19th c opera. That said, the bits about Anglo-Saxon England and how later texts reflected it? Awesome.
Photo from Friday; today was so rainy I had to finish the book at the gym after the coffee shop closed.

"unlike me, an intellectual, those stupid basic Kushner fans don't notice the true depth of Angels."

Maybe I'm being uncharitable, but nothing in Frantzen's style of writing so far, 95% through the book, leads me to any other way of interpreting that quote.
