i wish to have no connection with any ship that does not sail fast

One in a series of lol-leslit-papers-for-Pelly. ♥ This was for Rita Mae Brown's Rubyfruit Jungle, and it doesn't really have anything to do with narrative structure (which is the subject that kind of propelled me to post all these), but...complete set and et cetera. /o/ My point here was rather better summed up by a contemporary review of the novel by the Village Voice, alas. Molly Bolt is the lesbian Natty Bumppo, a lesbian Paul Bunyan: she's in the pattern of the larger-than-life American folk hero. If Brown wasn't such a crazyass old lady (no, seriously, I have video proof of this available if you want), I'd say that it was a specific decision to force open the mythos of American legendary figures to people who've up to now been excluded from the pantheon. As it is, I'll say that that's what it does, whether or not Brown consciously intended it.

I'm just really proud of how well (relatively speaking) I did presenting queer and queer theory as concepts.  So here is my script.  lawl.
