  • The Secrets of Droon and Fantasy Development
    Jan 31 2022

    I revisit The Secrets of Droon, one of the first series that obsessed me as a kid, and discuss the role of tropes in literature, the supposed insult of wish fulfillment, and the scope and scale of children’s chapter books that shape who we are. Both Descartes and Jane Austen get namechecked, which is about par for the course.

  • Tuck Everlasting and the Existential Horror of Immortality
    Jan 10 2022

    I revisit Tuck Everlasting and consider the arguments in favor of and against the premise of living forever. Also discussed: being aware of the questions you’re asking, imagery that reflects theme, and the absolute adoration of entropy.

  • The Tale of Despereaux and Third-Person Narrators
    Dec 20 2021

    I revisit The Tale of Despereaux and explore the power of point of view to shape the mood of a story before discussing interweaving plotlines and the beautiful metaphors of naming your characters after painting terms.
