The complexity and structural boldness of these prose-poems, especially the female-erotic prose pieces of her first book, make them an important moment in the history of literary modernism in a tradition that runs from Baudelaire, the North American moderns, and the South American postmodernistas. ![]() This is a book full of surprises and paradoxes.

So I present my thoughts while watching PLL: Perfectionists. Everyone has high cheekbones, and it is already very clear that they’re going for a darker, grittier, sexier(?), and more outrageous show than PLL. Still, I will without a doubt keep watching the show because I do love my drama.Īnd the first episode was….fine? I am loving the direction they’re taking with Allison, though the excuse for “why is Emily not here nor her twins” is uh. So I think it is safe to say I have no edge on having read these books, unlike the PLL series. It completely removed two characters and changes one to a male counterpart. But really, can’t you just….create a sequel? This show is taking the barest of bones of the book and … not even the twist of the books. The books aren’t great, and I can see why they’re wanting to connect the book to the success of the Pretty Little Liars series after Shepard’s other show didn’t do too well.
