    I dig into some of the scaaariest novels of all time (according to the internet!) and they all turn out to be pretty cut and dry with their endings! Made it easy, but short!

    Oct 10 2021

    Today I look at "Tortilla Flat" by John Steinbeck; "The Left Hand of Darkness" by Ursula K. Le Guin; and "On the Road" by Jack Kerouac and learn an important lesson: the novels really dictate how well an episode is going to go! These didn't give me much to work with, but here we are anyway!

    The novels I explore this week are "Music for Chameleons" by Truman Capote; "The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue" by V.E. Schwab; and "The Vanishing Half" by Brit Bennett. I start making a lot of connections between the three novels and decide to take it in that direction.
