"...a winding narrative that often hangs somewhere between twisted fairytales like Pinocchio and dark whimsy such as Tim Burton."
It began with an Uncanny Literature course.
We studied the uncanny and abject, from Freud and Kristeva’s analysis, Cixous’ dreams, and stories like Hoffman’s The Sandman and Kafka’s Metamorphosis. By the end of that semester, Julia Trencher had taken up residence in my brain. That story hasn’t let me go, and instead grew into a whole world with a multitude of endearing characters. But it started here, with a love for the abject and uncanny, and for the girl who was unfixed, with a dozen or so other students excited to talk about words and what makes a story uncanny and why.
