The entire field of literary analysis would like a word with you. ๐Ÿคฃ

Oh really?

The people that insist their interpretation of literature is correct even after authors clarify that they're reading to far into it?

They're barely better than tarot card readers.

Go ahead and pass along all their words if you don't mind.

I just can't think of a more perfect arrangement to hear what the "field of literary analysis" has to say to me, than thru an account I've just blocked.
