Sims Books | Station Eleven - Ableism in Post-Apocalyptic Lit @sims_books | Uploaded May 2020 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
I said I wouldn't drag novels by living authors, but uhhhhhh I guess that doesn't apply if you've sold over a million copies.
There's a lot to love about Station Eleven, but at it's heart, there's a toxic, ableist fantasy that is unfortunately omni-present in post-apocalyptic lit. I break it down in this video.
