このコンテンツについて
William Faulkner's short story "A Rose for Emily" is widely taught because it's such a fascinating and complex collection of literary maneuvers in a small space.
We get the story of Emily Grierson, an upper class social exile who does some very weird things. Obviously I wanted to read it after We Have Always Lived in the Castle due to the major overlaps. But this story also features an unreliable first person plural narrator. So strange! They're unable to connect some very clearly linked dots A, B, and C, so how much can we trust anything else they say?
It's great fun to watch a class go from "we hate Emily, like the townspeople" to maybe wondering whether she might be the way she is because of how they treat her. Surely being treated like a freak show who's outside of all the norms can't be good for someone?
This week's episode brought to you by incredibly itchy black fly bites, the barks of Miss Tallulah Dog, too much drama, unspecified, and major progress on the draft of The Esker Road. Woohoo!
