dear all:
i'm looking for two books. two books that i've never read.
i'm teaching a class where i'd like to use a comparable book to
_Frankenstein_ ... i'd like it to be both sci-fi and fem AND not
extraordinarily difficult (like, say, Le Guin's _Dispossessed_)(*gasp*)...
my theme (or, as we silly english teachers like to call it, "body of
discourse") is going to be called something along the lines of "Beauty and
the Beast" -- i think i'm going to use _Beowulf_ together with _Grendel_
...
the second book i'm looking for is for a class on family... i'd like to,
again, use a sci-fi fem book that i haven't read before: one that has an
unusual family... i may be using _Fried Green Tomatoes_ and _Momaday_ and
_I am One of You Forever_
any ideas?
thanks,
-lissa bloomer
