I can picture it lol. A 4-week intensive with a short essay and reflective portfolio on masculinity in Kaiji & A Little Life. Maybe add some mythopoetics, performativity, publishing and manga studies in there. I should pitch it to my prof
Donāt forget the discussion on mental illness!!
Also I donāt know how much your professor can stomach the art.
Noted. Mythopoetics should cover it. Maybe I should run the course
I mean she has a whole lecture on poo, guts and the grotesque so Iām sure she can handle it
@JellyGhost couldnāt get over the faces of the people. Youāll need a trigger warning just for the art style alone.
@NotARussianBot You guys are both killing the joy of Kaiji for me. Thanks.
Iām doing it for the Dahila.
I wish that there was a mass burning of A Little Life.
Iām boycotting it
Literary analysis can be boring. Sometime the curtains actually just are blue, and they donāt represent the authorās sadness.
No oneās forcing you to join my course babe calm down
Iāll join if I can be a co-ordinator and bring some reality and grounding and point to it.
Iām just doing this because I want to see completely baffled literature majors.
Declined funding
Next?
I just think that showing normies the weird shit that happens in those stories would be entertaining, at least to me!

People can be slow to change.
This is a start.
Instead of it being about shock value, maybe theyc an actually learn something from it.
Maybe, but academics can be surprisingly close-minded at times.
Yeah, no shight
We can agree on one thing that Jeffrey Marsh is definitely a cult leader.
Bukowski is the Churroverse, if it was written in the 1960s, 70s and 80s.
