Where do fists come from?

I actually think the Station Eleven is an interesting book for the topic, though, since it sits in the middle of literary fiction and genre.

It felt like she was trying too hard to cram itself into the This is (Pulitzer) Lit pigeonhole by smothering the story in all that bullshit about the Dead White Male Actor Divorcee and his Too-Much-Money Ennui though. Was that to make the middle-class anglo world apocalypse sting a little less? :v:

Blindness is explicitly not touted as Sci-Fi though.

Night of the Triffids however, is.

Probably because John Windham tried to shove in bullshit explanations in for why almost everyone in the world suddenly went blind. I was with the book, even the walking carnivorous plants, up to that point. But right at the end where he tried to tie it all up with a neat little sciency ribbon I was all gently caress this is stupid
