Invisible Man | Ralph Ellisons Groundbreaking Novel Stalking Kafka 2024-09-09 | Ralph Ellison's debut novel Invisible Man explores the complex themes of racial justice, racial identity, and the search for one's authentic self. It does all of this with great artistic integrity and ingenuity that was truly groundbreaking in its time. In this video I take a deep dive into the main themes and surrealist approach to the narrative. I also give a bit of background on Ellison's life and work, the novel's initial reception and its legacy. I hope you enjoy it!

Jan-Feb Wrap-Up Pt. 2 | 🥵 Starting with a Rant 🌹Rouge, Bad Cree & more Stalking Kafka 2024-03-16 | Hi Everyone, in the beginning of this video, I give a bit of a rant-y response to a comment made complaining about my noisy animal on my recently published video about Middlemarch.If you want to skip it, the actual book reviews start at - 06:00 Bad CreeN.B. I put a lot of thought into that MIddlemarch video, so nobody is more annoyed than I am that it isn't perfect and that the background pitter patter of Fifi's unclipped paws would be such an irritant (I found it very annoying myself!) Luckily, it doesn't last for the whole video so you can skip ahead to get past it if it is too distracting. The imperfect sound recording is simply the result of the undeniable reality that my channel offers free (to youtube) content created by an amateur with less than enough extra time for her passion projects. All of my videos reflect the production values of a hobbyist doing her best to make the content interesting and conversation worthy. I will strive to improve when and where I can but I can't be making any promises until the day dawns when I have a technical team I can blame (or at least a dog wrangler). I truly hope it doesn't deter any of you who are interested in my ideas about Middlemarch from checking it out. Here is a link to it - youtu.be/w7q5fbQT2WA?si=2uEuWP0YH7dc6KTCAs always, thanks for watching and enjoy!Jess.BOOKS 📚 IN ORDER OF APPEARANCE: Bad Cree by Jessica JohnsThe Appeal by Janice HalletThe Forbidden Notebook by Alba de Céspedes tr.
