So funny that you would raise the issue of fairy tales at the end of your ‘stack. My copy of Bruno Bettelheim’s The Uses of Enchantment arrived yesterday morning, and I’ve been connecting the dots between story and life-meaning ever since. I always did identify a little too much with Peter Pan, as a kid. Or maybe it was Tinkerbell.
Oooh, I hadn't heard of that one. I'm building up my library on fairy tales now. I feel like I might be drawn in that direction in the future. Thanks for the lead!
As long as we're getting into it, I also enjoyed your fucking exegesis on swearing. After the Chicago Sky won the WNBA championship last weekend, a reporter stuck a mic in the face of the MVP, Kahleah Copper, and asked her how she made it all the way from the projects in Philly to her great moment on top of the hoops world. She paused for a moment, then said on national TV: "I've worked so fucking hard for this!" The fans in the stands roared their approval. #Truth! #Swearing! #Authenticity!
