    Madame d’Aulnoy and The Island of Happiness (Announcement)

    December 22, 2020 /

    Okay fairy tale admirers: in case you missed it, The Guardian Books published a piece yesterday (December 21st) highlighting the 17th-century French writer Madame d’Aulnoy, an upcoming release of a collection of her fairy tales—The Island of Happiness—, and one tale that will “be published in English for the first time in more than 300 years.”

    I’m Thinking of Never Watching Another Book-To-Film Adaptation

    October 19, 2020 /

    This post has gone through many edits and rereads by yours truly, because after I watched the film adaptation of I’m Thinking of Ending Things (authored by Iain Reid), I had a lot to say, and so I wrote down all of my thoughts in a post. Initially they were negative outbursts without a lot tying them together, and even now (about a week later) this post still feels like a first draft. But I really cannot spend any more time on more edits, and so I finally present my highly emotional, dramatic, negative, and scathing response to the film adaptation of one of my all-time favorite books.

    The Djinn in the Nightingale’s Eye (Five Fairy Stories)

    March 21, 2020 /

    Like most of the backdated books on my shelves, I found The Djinn in the Nightingale’s Eye: Five Fairy Stories by A.S. Byatt in a used bookstore. Because of my growing interest in fairy tales and fairy tale analysis, there was no way I was leaving that bookstore without this collection. I must admit, however, that this blog post has been sitting in my drafts folder for many months (has it been a year?). I wanted to finish the last and title story before hitting publish, but as I explain below, things didn’t go as planned.

    The Snow Maiden and other Russian Tales

    March 28, 2019 /

    My fairy tale exploration has officially gone beyond the Grimm realm, with my reading of The Snow Maiden and other Russian Tales, translated and retold by Bonnie C. Marshall (advised by Alla V. Kulagina). I’m going to talk a little bit about the particular edition I read, and then cover some of the fairy tales and stories from the various sections.
