Title: Related Texts for Literary Mindscapes
Post by: LadyRiverSong on February 03, 2022, 09:23:40 am
Hi there!

I'm currently choosing a related text for the elective 'Literary Mindscapes', and would love some suggestions!
We are studying Hamlet, Dickinson poetry, and Lost in Translation.

I know my sister studied Slaughterhouse Five as part of the elective, but I was wondering if anyone has any other ideas?

I'm happy with any length of text :)

Thanks!
