Fun Home continues to be one of my favorite reads in the class, though I often am daunted by the literary references. I am one of three people in America who didn't have The Great Gatsby assigned in a high school English and am lost with all such allusions (minus the Robert Redford-reference).
I also have never read Proust. Though I find those sections more educational that dependent on previous knowledge.
But honestly, I'm slightly behind...not because I'm not interested I've just been overwhelmed. I'm performing in a stand up Monday night at Zanies in Chicago for the Regional Semi-Finals of a College comedy competition. Not that that's an excuse for not writing in depth blog posts... but its kind of cool, right?
More on Fun Home on Wednesday, maybe?!??!

I didn't read the Great Gatsby for the first time until last semester for my American modernism class. My high school English teacher liked Hemingway but hated Fitzgerald so we just watched the Robert Redford/Sam Waterson/Faye Dunaway movie instead.
