We Were Witches Gore Ariel
Buying into the dream that education is the road out of poverty, a teen mom takes a chance on bettering herself, gets on welfare rolls, and talks her way into college. She's beset by custody disputes, homophobia, and America's ever-present obsession with shaming strange women into passive citizenship. But once she's there, phallocratic narratives permeate every subject, and creative writing professors depend heavily on Freytag's pyramid to analyze life.So Ariel turns to a rich subcultural canon of resistance and failure, populated by writers like Audre Lorde, Adrienne Rich, Gloria Anzald a, Tillie Olsen, and Kathy Acker.Wryly riffing on feminist literary tropes, We Were Witches documents the survival of a demonized single mother.
But even as the narrator struggles to graduate--often the triumphant climax of a dramatic plot--a question uncomfortably lingers.
