The entire point of Multicultural Literature is to read works from or about marginalized voices & share your thoughts. That’s it. So, I created an opportunity for a select few to read some of my favorite modern books, write a response,, & then get extra credit.
I will pick a survey of books that relate to our past unit. You read it and then turn in a 1.5-3 page essay relating the book to anything we talked about in class. College style = no specific prompt.
These are books not approved by APS, so reading said books are your own personal choice & decision.
You cannot choose a book that’s not on this list.
Book: Nightbitch by Rachel Yoder
TW: animal abuse

Genre: dark comedy, psychological satire, magic realism??
modern-day “The Yellow Wallpaper”
