READ ALL ABOUT IT —- [ @gadaboutTrickster queiries: "What's a story you LOVED as a grub?" Now this'll sound real strange for a grub like me to be reading. But I always liked The Etranger by renowned goldkrovvy Albert Kameus. The excerpt where the other lowkrovvy shopkeeper realizes that the legislacerators, the jury and even the fellow lowkrovvies were never going to perceive Outsider Erusault as anything but guilty is a damning reality most lowkrovvies face when dealing with Alternia's justice system. The moment you walk through that door, the world is against you. And there's nothing anyone will do, no one will afford you mercy, no one will pity you. Especially if you're not 'normal' by Alternian standards. A shame they culled Albert Kameus for this novel not only half a sweep after he released it. ]
wow, that sounds like exactly the kind of story that would shape your worldview to be critical of what is considered "correct" or "just" on a societal standard.
READ ALL ABOUT IT —- [ There were a lot of things that contributed to my view but this is certainly one of them. The place I was raised had quite the amount of 'banned literature'... the only sensible lewdie there -- the jade -- knew that some of us could use some zammechat novels. ]
