XBook: Chapter 27 - Ginger, Are You Okay? (Or, Surrealism and how the Aberrant Character Isn’t Your Plaything)
Manage episode 302517984 series 1207717
XBook - Designed to be the greatest book of all time. Written 20 years ago, its themes are still necessary today.
How many other stories look at the same alien invasion from the human AND the invading aliens’ perspectives?
Ginger, an aberrant character, fresh from the Great War of 1918 is now on the alien mothership, and still having surreal visions.
We talk today about surrealism and the aberrant character’s place in the avant garde.
There is not as much talk of disguises as some parts may suggest.
Ginger definitely isn’t a failed character.
