Has that book officially replaced harry potter as the thing privileged white girls quote incessantly?
No, they've never read it, and most of them haven't seen the series either. The most glaring error they make is that the characters in the Handmaid's Tale would be horrified by abortion -- not just the rulers, but the handmaids and other oppressed women as well. The setup is that (before Gilead took over) something has caused fertility to drop precipitously; people are desperate for babies.
oh really? maybe I'll pick it up then. That sounds genuinely interesting.
I… Wouldn’t recommend that. Sure, it’s politically interesting, and knowing your enemy IS useful, but seriously, I… Would recommend against that, lol.
Go for The Name of the Rose instead. 👌
