ok i just finally finished lagoon. ohhh my god i am so excited to discuss this in class
#i have been thinking abt it So Much.
#who gets to be the protagonist and why!! why is it always americans why is it white people why is it PEOPLE at all. why not fish
#maybe a bat or a spider or a ROAD has the most fascinating inner life on earth and we would never fucking know
#the way we humans (and esp white people) have a habit of crushing things without understanding how special they ever were
#this isnt even just on a plot/character level its in the LANGUAGE of the book. pidgin english as a tool to show class/connections!!
#and bc this class is postcolonial lit i just KNOW were gettin into all of that
#its SO good dude. its such a good book
#i also just thought all the nigerian mythology was super fucking cool even if i dont know much abt it
#i knew vaguely abt mami wata and ijele i think. and anansi but anansi isnt really in the book
#levi.txt
#also just as a smaller thing: i didnt know much abt nigeria in general and its always cool to see new places represented in books
#ive never even been close to lagos!! but i can tell the author loves it sm and sees the beauty in it
#just. as a huge arachnophobe this book is literally narrated by a massive spider and im endorsing it. thats smth in itself hgfjdkhgfd
#i have a lot of feelings abt it 👍
#anyway. enjoy the infodump i will not apologize
#next book for the same class is midnights children by salman rushdie which also sounds super interesting!!
#one of the girls in my writing class last year was indian and her stories talking abt it were always great? so thats a good sign
#i dont know loads abt india either but im so excited to see it in this book and learn more
