Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter: A Journey through the Cultural Landscape of Mississippi
Vortrag von Jessica Strain, d.a.i. Tübingen. A quiet town in Mississippi becomes the site of a mysterious murder, with Larry Ott, the “gentle weirdo” as main suspect. Yet, Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter is more than a crime novel full of suspense. The focus of the presentation will be on the entangled lives of the main protagonists, Larry and Silas. The novel serves as a starting point for a discussion on key issues such as alienation, racial tensions, coming of age, poverty, and kinship.
