Literary Letters #2 : Into the Forest, by Jean Hegland
I'm pleased that we were able to come up with a viable alternative novel for you to read, Becca, and I appreciate your candidness when explaining just why The Things They Carried was not an appropriate novel for you, right now.
In responding with your second Literary Letter, I'd like for you to reflect upon the following when reading Jean Hegland's novel, Into the Forest:
Into the Forest seems to convey that the stripped-down life of a hunter-gatherer would be better for us as a species. What Nell and Eva do is clearly right for them. Would it be right for people in general? For women? Is it a tenable ideal for any but the very young, very fit, and very adaptable?
