@elzbethmrgn what’s the course reading list like? I should vicariously study along.
@captainfez
J. Leigh: The Hunter
Shirley Jackson: We Have Always Lived in the Castle
Bram Stoker: Dracula
Mary Shelley: Frankenstein or ‘The Modern Prometheus’
Henry James: The Turn of the Screw
@elzbethmrgn That's a pretty good list. I should ping you for an Anne Radcliffe buddy read as I think one of hers would fit in there nicely. I have the Jackson to read, and can recommend two Dracula variants (one Icelandic, the other Turkish) if you're interested - both are great examples of modes of publication and translation changing a work.
@captainfez lemme get through this list first 😉
@captainfez anyway, great prep for Tokarczuk later this year (it always comes back to her)
@captainfez my copy of The Magic Mountain came today and she's a Chonky Tome! Winter buddy read
@elzbethmrgn yes! I think mine is a chunky old Penguin. Will dig it out - looking forward to it.
