Document Summary
Last class will talk about final exam format. Francesca lia block is best known for her youth adult fiction fictions: a relatively new genre (cid:498)real literature(cid:499) A lot of ya are being read by adults. Keeping a distance between children and young adults: no one has really said much about the fact that weetzie bat has appropriated. Distinction between concrete reality and the fantastical. Over the top chaotic happy weird people. Get a bit of a collage without any real depths actually. Evoking a sense of nowhereness, evokes fantasy of disconnections. Intense versions of people: they are all too much of whatever they are. Written for her friends and intimate people. Makes for an interesting switch going from writing something so private to a publication. Has a bit of resurgence in terms of style from then and there. Definitely a fairy tale: superficial characters. Superficial appropriation that would spice up her life.
