I was about to pick up house in the Cerulean sea and a few of TJ klunes other books that I own and of course he’s problematic. It has to do with the 60s scoop that involved Native Americans and what horrible things happen to them. My father being a part of that as a Native American himself and a young teen when it happened. He basically used a traumatic time in history as inspiration for his story house in the Cerulean sea. Which is not okay and he’s coming out with a second book to that one next year. I don’t think the publishers should be going forward with this next book but of course they will cuz it’s going to make them money. Should I now tell people the talk about this book but he’s problematic and after that let them do their own research or not say anything?
It does my head in. I feel like I’m living in a totally different reality to young people who get their language and personal opinions from TikTok and social media. Fuck, the poor things are desperately stressed from plugging themselves into that system.
I completely agree.
Here’s an example of a poor young person in mental anguish trying to deal with that system: https://www.reddit.com/r/socialjustice101/s/dmrl3w8xuj
