medieval gender studies

#medieval gender studies literally so good #the fact that they had some available forms of girlboss culture....much to ponder #maybe a counterexample to the idea that girlbossery within an oppressive system is inherently liberatory #rather than perhaps a balm we're allowed to keep us from demanding overthrow of the system #but i'm just spitballing here that might be nothing

what's house of leaves?

the short version is, it's a book about a book about a book about a book about a movie that never existed about a house that's bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. it is probably the single most famous/notorious existing work of "ergodic fiction", meaning basically fiction which exists in such a complex relationship with its medium that it takes nontrivial effort just to consume, meaning uhhhh a lot of it looks like this,

or worse!

it's like, fifty percent an extremely high-effort mockery of modern academia, it's often doing its active best to be completely incomprehensible to you, its and i cannot emphasize this enough A Space With A Beast In It. its awfully dear to my heart also. or as mark z danielewsky who wrote it puts it:

"I had one woman come up to me in a bookstore and say, 'You know, everyone told me it was a horror book, but when I finished it, I realized that it was a love story.' And she's absolutely right.

#if house of leaves was 90% of your personality in middle school too you come to me as a friend who i met in papá's orchard .......#unfortunately due to being obsessed with discworld from a very young age i have always loved fiction with footnotes etc.#it's literally so fun to read it feels like doing a puzzle #but in a good puzzleful way not the way mysteries claim to be puzzles #it's not a logic puzzle it's a jigsaw your patience and persistence will be rewarded
