I’ve been really stuck on a lot of the small island nations - St Kitts and Nevis? Palau? With food - I prefer to go to a proper restaurant but for harder cases like Abkhazia I ordered some candy online (and debatable whether that’s a country any way)
Anyone else have a similar project?
Canada: Poutine/Rush-Moving Pictures or 2112/Margaret Atwood - whichever title interests you.
Alias Grace is slept on, but Oryx and Crake fucked me up and changed my life.
Poutine is one of those foods that could be used as an argument for a benevolent creator deity.
…
I had a friendship with very similar relationship dynamics to that between the protagonist and Crake, and it helped me understand it. I also think about the Snowman a lot in the context of being a teacher in a world that is dying.
