I had comics students do a 2min drawing of a book that meant something to them & one kid drew Tartt’s SECRET HISTORY and then I noticed that he’d also drawn a tiny copy of STONER & I exclaim “how do you know STONER!?” & like half the class goes “TikTok!”
Show PostI talked to him after class and he had liked STONER so much that he had tried to find “books like STONER” on search engines and was not getting anywhere lol. So I recommended something that meant a lot to *me* at age 20–Carver’s short stories.
