FEATURED PAST READING
Anthem - ayn rand
A didactic story about how important individualism and personal accomplishments are to society. As Rand's first and shortest novel, Anthem is a concentrated dose of her objectivist philosophy.
Passing - nella larsen
First and foremost an interesting story about two women's seemingly parallel lives and the moments they intersect. Larsen examines identity, race, sexuality, and jealousy all in the context of "passing."
The professor's house - willa cather
Cather's beautiful narrative split into three parts, surrounding the fascination of Godfrey St. Peter with the life and death of a young man, Tom Outland. Outland's death affects every character in the novel in different ways, creating jealousy, greed, and regret with the riches he leaves behind.
