Kris Rafferty is reading The Female of the Species: Tales of Mystery and Suspense
Ugh. This short story compilation had me wondering how to teach it. How do I explicate it so 20 somethings could relate to these privileged White women with either champagne problems or soci-cultural crises that they solve via violence? I wasn’t interested in those conversations and the random explicit sex scenes seemed gratuitous so I bailed. Cut it from the curriculum and went with My Antonia by Cather.

Harder to finish than Moby Dick or Daniels Inferno. An important book, IMHO. And rare, because it focuses on the female condition in a unique way.

A snap shot in time, when gothic novels were written in the context of ghost as science was still on the board. Well written. Interesting story. Plenty the analyze via gender and socio-economic perspectives.

Took a while to read, heavy content, but really should be taught in High School over the course of a year. Everyone need to read this. No joke. She is a genius who suffered from being born in an era that sought to wipe whole populations not only from the face of the earth, but from history.
