Let's see if I can do this again. Like I have said in the past, I fully do not understand our readings until a huge discussion comes about in class about the meaning of it all. I guess I will try and give it a go.
My first impression of To After That was...well it's very dry. Honestly I like books that have a clear story in them. A narrator, or character, that illustrates their life in such a way that it draws you in. Reading about a woman who has just printed off a ninety seven page paper and puts on a sweatshirt is not very interesting, but alas I read on.
As I read on, the book seems to be a prequel to the true book called "After That". "To After That" seems like it is indicating to another book. Still seems dry to me. Even though Gladman has taken time to add such describing words to her life, I really do not follow it. Telling us how she adds to her book and what she thinks is good and bad, does not seem like a good story to me.
I read on, and it is more like reading someone's journal. Writing bits and pieces of conversations and what is going on in her head. That is fine, I do that often (like now). I guess I will have to see what the class thinks.
