The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Infinite improbability drives, ballpoint pen planets, the evolution of birds due to ill-fitting shoes, and much much more. What can I say, Douglas Adams’ novel The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is a masterpiece filled with absurdities one can only imagine. The novel begins with a seemingly normal person: Arthur Dent. In no way is he a heroic fighter, a wealthy businessman, nor a powerful politician. In fact, he doesn’t appear to have anything out of the ordinary. He’s just a regular guy, and yet the book places him in new, weird, gigantic situations. Consider, for instance, the possibility of a construction crew coming to knock down your house. Sure, you may know what to do, but what about when an alien construction crew comes to knock down your planet? This is precisely the type of ridiculous circumstances Arthur is thrust into. At first they merely seem funny, blowing the problems we may regularly face to absurd proportions or minimizing it them to a comical extent. In this ...

Anansi Boys

It may not be often that you hear about a mystical spider ruling the universe, but it’s true!

Throughout the course of the novel, the two learn more about each other (and their many differences) in addition to their heritage. While Spider is well acquainted with the magical side of the family and is overall bold, impulsive, and jovial, Charlie is at first unaware of Spider’s existence entirely and is unambitious...

The Left Hand of Darkness

When I consider politics today, I’m often disgusted by what I see. Whether it’s due to the hatred and bigotry or the fear-mongering and outright lies, I’m genuinely shocked by the prejudices that continue running rampant in our society. For this past election season’s October surprise, a caravan of immigrants, many of whom were families seeking asylum, were framed by politicians as being a massive security threat to the United States. Coupled with the media’s coverage of it, they succeeded in drawing attention to the issue and expanding our fear of the “other.” Unfortunately for those who remain unprejudiced, this type of slander and fear mongering is nothing new. There has yet been a time where we, as a society, have wholly succeeded in purging ourselves from the bigotry and intolerance that holds us captive, as it relates to race, religion, nationality, gender, or sexual orientation. Perhaps we never will. However, regardless of our preconceptions, it remains true that these “...
