Robotswithpersonality
Fox 8: A Story | George Saunders
post image
Pickpick

Part literary experiment (phonetical reproduction of English, how would you write it if you mostly only heard it? How does an author write it to convey this while also ensuring the reading comprehension isn't hampered?), part environmental and animal welfare statement, part exploration of trauma and its aftermath.
Fox 8 finds many things enchanting about the human world, 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/? until the destruction of his habitat renders his community without shelter, food, and depreciating hope, and a last burst of optimism is overshadowed by witnessing wanton cruelty, leading the fox to write a letter to humanity.
I wish I had a better answer for Fox 8, I hope I'm doing my part to follow his closing advice.
12h
Robotswithpersonality 3/3 Hard to see sketched scenes reflecting text narrative as more than bulking up an already short story to just under 50 pages, not sure how much they add to the story.
Given the price point, I'd advise reading this one via an anthology, or library loan.
⚠️animal cruelty, animal death, discussion of trauma and mental health effects of trauma

4.5⭐️ 135 chapters plus an epilogue. Yes, it‘s only around 700 pages but still that many chapters can be slightly intimidating. This was the September/October #Fable book read for #RoaringWolfFrightNight. In the end, I enjoyed it. It definitely gave the creepy vibes. What threw me off was the religious twist that it has. But you know what I am so glad I read it, and I‘m glad I finished it before the end of this month.

#HauntsAndHexes Day 20: In this delightfully strange novel, the art of making #potion(s) has been described in such detailed and exquisite fashion. My full review posted in 2011 can be found here: https://wp.me/pDlzr-1yo

This fable is ideal for teaching lessons on perspective, teamwork, and critical thinking. With its vivid art and simple text, it engages students in literacy and art while sparking conversations on how teamwork and multiple viewpoints lead to deeper understanding of the task, and of each other.

Genre: Traditional Literature
Publication year: 1992
Seven Blind Mice is a Caldecott Honor book, and it is a fable that teaches a moral lesson. Through bold art in the form of collages, each mouse discovers part of a mysterious shape, but only together do they realize it's an elephant. It's a fable because it uses animals to convey wisdom about perspective and truth.

I would love more friends on fable. I made the graphic before also finding how to share my profile link lol but if you don‘t have fable and you want to join, you can get five dollars joining through my Link and I also get five dollars to spend on e-books in the app.
