      Oh yeah!!! Ray Bradbury has a real normal one about C-sections in this book I guess because suffering during childbirth builds character or somethinghttps://twitter.com/Pullingaclaudia/status/1292221398346338306 …

      Literally the only thing I remember about this book is when the narrator is talking about his wife's friend with such disdain - she's apparently a vapid, selfish airhead and this is supposed to be evidenced by the fact that she...had her children via c-section

      Vapor Weyve Retweeted David Hansen, American Playwright

      I mean I don't know how much I can say about it that @arthur_affect hasn't said much more eloquently, though I do, emphatically, co-sign everything he's said I actually think the much more obscure HOUSE OF STAIRS, by William Sleator, is more interestinghttps://twitter.com/dhansenx/status/1292222970614685698 …

      Though it's been so long since I read that that I'm not even sure its themes are even remotely comparable I think my thing with Orwell is that he's just kind of a sad nerd, like I feel like rather than Rage Against the Machine quoting him in songs it should have been Linkin Park

      There's that whole thing in THE L WORD where insufferable writer Jenny Schecter decides to name her freshman manuscript "Thus Spoke Sara Schuster" and then has to repeatedly fend off objections that that's real fuckin pretentious George Orwell has a lot of that kind of energy

      I mean it's ironic in some ways that Orwell had such a beef against CS Lewis because they equally relished in condescending paternalistic allegories And while I'm no fan of JRR Tolkien, his own distaste for allegory has really kind of been vindicated by history in a big way

      Like if I tried to write about my beef with somebody—truscum, let's say, since they're probably busy copulating with peat bog or something—in the form of a Brothers Grimm-esque parable about farm animals, you'd burst into laughter about how hopped up I was on my own flatulence

      Allegory is actually pretty dangerous HORTON HEARS A WHO! was Ted Geisel's way of expressing his newfound compassion for the Japanese during their period of postwar suffering But now it gets quoted by people trying to annihilate abortion rights Allegory has a short half-life

      Like when you're reading ANIMAL FARM as a kid you have no fucking clue that Snowball is supposed to be Trotsky and moreover you have no clue who Trotsky was, you have no idea who the Mensheviks are and what they believed And the boomers feeding it to you don't know either

      When you think about the whole idea of a "canon of 20th century literature" at least as it's characterized by the American public school curriculum, it's really clear how much it's designed to elevate anti-communist sentiment And it diminishes writers that are in favor of it

      Like, you have to LEARN about Upton Sinclair and the reforms in the meatpacking industry, but you never have to actually read THE JUNGLE, because if you read it you might actually come away with some of the pro-labor, pro-communism ideas Sinclair was trying to get across

      The thing at my high school where we specifically were assigned to read only the meatpacking excerpts of The Jungle because the book as a whole is "too long and too difficult" was hilariously blatant

          Same here, except we didn't even get the dignity of reading it for ourselves - our APUSH teacher read those excerpts aloud to us.
