Hello readers! So many apologies for the lack of news from the literary world. February just slipped by really fast despite the extra day. But I am hoping to stick to a regular uploading schedule from this month. So let’s get started for I have some awesome links this week.<\/p>\n
1. Jonathan Sturgeon over at Flavoriwire makes a fantastic argument for why television is turning to the novel<\/a> and making a return to the good ol’ style of serialized writing that made Dickens’ career. Fascinating reading if you also love “literary” TV like Fargo<\/em> and Mad Men<\/em>.<\/p>\n 2. Speaking of literary television, Matt Weinkam at Electric Literature presents how points of view, specifically what is in the frame and what isn’t \u00a0heighten tension<\/a> in film and fiction. It totally explains why The Murder of Roger Ackroyd remains Agatha Christie’s best and most shocking novel to date.<\/p>\n 3. Two pieces on McSweeney’s had me ROFL-ing. This one is all those white dude-bro movies rewritten to pass the Bechdel\u00a0test<\/a>. The Bechdel test is a measure of showing how gender diverse a piece of media is. So if it has two named women who are talking about something other than a man, it passes the Bechdel test. You would be surprised at how many movies and books don’t fit this criteria. The next link is a retelling of Chacer’s Canterbury Tales<\/a>, which would totes be these. The Instagram Addict’s Tale would probably be something I would like to write for sure.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hello readers!
