A Wild Sheep Chase

A Wild Sheep Chase: perhaps the weirdest book I’ve ever read. Following the life of one unnamed narrator, the book covers his travel as he tracks down a magical sheep capable of possession. A magical sheep you say? What nonsense! But is it really all that strange? A Wild Sheep Chase was written by Haruki Murakami is 1982. Having grown up in Japan, he was immersed in their culture. As a result, regardless of how much his novels tend to appeal to western readers, they are, in essence, deeply rooted in Japanese culture - a culture which thrives in a framework where everything is alive, be it the people or the rocks. They are, from my western point of view, more spiritual in this sense. Conversely, as westerners, we have a habit of separating everything into either the natural or the supernatural. There is no in-between. In this sense, we are more materialistic. What we might view as the “supernatural” may be viewed as a continuum of the natural in Japan. When taking A Wild ...

Interview with a Vampire

In the novel Interview with a Vampire, Anne Rice creates two unusually conflicted characters within the archetype of a vampire. While previously thought to be depraved, bloodthirsty monsters, in her novel, Rice offers a more humanistic approach, portraying her vampires as heartless yet vehement and pensive. Louis, a vampire turned by one named Lestat, narrates the majority of the novel, relaying his life story to a young interviewer. As the boy interviews Louis, he, much like the reader, is shocked to learn of the nuances of his story - his feelings.

Louis, despite being a much younger vampire who was turned by Lestat, is considerably more sensual than him. As such, the act of killing and drinking one’s blood is almost sacred, while to Lestat, it’s merely fun and games. But...

Lillith's Brood

Tentacle people….hmm...well at least they’re not trying to kill us? Dawn, the first installment in a trilogy written by Octavia E. Butler, follows the story of Lilith Iyapo as she wakes up in the hands of the Oankali, an uncanny alien species, following the destruction of the Earth. At first, Lilith, like the reader, believes the Oankali are malicious in some way. After all, she was locked away in solitary confinement for two years. She would learn, however, that there’s more to it than that. The Oankali call themselves “traders,” that is, they trade their own genetic material. Thus, in an attempt to restore Earth alongside the human race after their near extinction, they use this ability preemptively to both prevent future catastrophes and to improve the humans. It is an act of goodwill as they see it. But what designates an improvement? Considering most of this genetic changing occurred without the humans consent, one might argue their actions are wrong in any case. Nonethel...
