I’m re-reading Wuthering Heights in preparation for a series of essays I’m planning to share this month with you, tied to the big Emerald Fennell film release, a movie event that is keeping me from the edge of total madness and despair (also doing these things helps). I am also absolutely drinking up the memes, for giggles. Here are just a few to get you started:

All of this is not totally just a very online lit PhD thing, I promise. I am also urging myself to loosen my grip/sanity/governability while working through an edit of my book. So, I thought I’d ask you all about your other favorite wacky, dark, weird girl, insane feminist novels. Please share below!
