Remedial Dystopia
I'm not a big fan of YA lit. Nothing like it when I was young. I grew up with Kesey, Huxley, Salinger, Dickens and The Who. I probably would have liked a steady diet of teen vampires and young dystopians. I would have loved my comic book heroes on the big screen in 3D. And video games and smart phones and search engines. Oh to be a millenial!
I was introduced to a truckload of Young Adult Lit during English Ed studies and found myself wanting to read Catcher in the Rye all over again. There was just something really amateurish and disposable about these novellas. Like... read the rest.
