The structure of Dictee is a widely remarked upon thing it is composed of introspective ponderings, letters, uncaptioned photographs, and visual exposition. The "book" is split into 9 sections recalling the Greek muses, including: Clio, Calliope, Urania, Melpomene, Erato, Elitere, Thalia, Terpischore, and Polymnia. The main theme of Dictee is the way that nations, and nationalism manifests into daily lives. It is considered her best, most prominent work, focusing on the experiences of specific iconic, powerful women over the years, as well as a more personal part delving into her mother and her own life.

I can’t claim any real expertise when it comes to graphic novels, so I don’t really know what the criteria might be for determining what makes a graphic novel superior to others. This One Summer by cousins Mariko and Jillian Tamaki is a Governor General’s Literary Award winner in addition to being on several Best Of…lists. ![]() ![]() ![]() I say *majority*, because while Summer played a big role, Lewis was basically a 12-year-old girl and Clover (*cackle cackle cackle*) was less of a, and I quote, "psychotic freak", and more of a mommy's boy in need of a hug.īut first, I would like to discuss everyone's favorite blue eyed blond haired brainless British broad - Summer. Unfortunately, I was instead thrown into a Lifetime Movie written by an orangutan in dire need of a thesaurus who also works part-time as a florist.įor starters, I blame Summer's immature personality and idiotic thought process to be of blame for the *majority* of my distaste towards this book. ![]() I was very excited to start this book, hoping for some mutilation (as one does), and expecting to be thrown into the most twisted and creepy episode of Criminal Minds. you better believe I'll be all up on that chiznit. So when I find a book written from the POV of a kidnapped victim. When I'm not watching Ina Garten, you will find me cuddled under the blankets watching a Criminal Minds marathon or Law and Order: SVU. Let me begin by saying that I am quite possibly the biggest crime show freak to ever exist in this world. and turn you into my flower mwahaha! But don't you dare pollenate, because pollenating is for sluts. throw you into a very non-cliche white van. ![]() ![]() ![]() She goes to the strip club where she’s been working.

We felt this gave an insight into some of our preconceptions, based both on the setting of the novel, and on other books (To Kill a Mockingbird was mentioned) and news events. ![]() We had a particularly interesting discussion about whether the woman in the hotel is black or white, with the group virtually split in half of what we thought, as it never actually says. We liked the format of the book with narration from different characters, as it gave an insight into how each person considered the situation, and we found the letter writing to be a useful narrative tool to show the passing of time and the impact it has on the relationship, focusing on the way the characters interact with each other. ![]() This was a really interesting book as it touched on so many different topics, especially racial discrimination in America. ![]() ![]() The Inhumans were created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby and first appeared in a 1965 issue of Fantastic Four.
