I honestly don't really know what to do with the story, it's one of those things like ISLAND OF THE BLUE DOLPHINS where it's just really a sanitized/sensationalized version of shit that white authors haven't shown a good job of understanding THE LIFE OF PI isn't much better

No one ever seriously tries to write a story like that anymore The closest we've got is Disney grandfathering in their remakes of Swiss Family Robinson because their movie version was a "classic"

The resurrection of these "wilderness survival" genre tropes in a different form became the "post-apocalyptic survival" story, and in those stories the dystopian mode is the norm, LotF's shadow always hangs over them

I don't hate LotF, I don't think. I just hate the metanarrative of the book.

I mean even the movie was pretty good
