Grasshopper Jungle (spoilers)
Has anyone else read it? We read it for book club and I can't stop thinking about it. I've had several discussions outside of book club (where we also discussed this issue extensively) and I'd love to hear your thoughts. This is my issue: the novel does a great job of portraying a teenage boy. As such, every single woman in the book is totally objectified. He literally wants to have sex with every woman he sees. Which is fairly typical teenage boy thought process, right? But my question is, should the author have addressed this at some point? Because every female character in the book is just this totally one dimensional, flat, personality-less character. Our main characters and our narrator are teenage boys, so does that justify a flat portray of women? Or do you think Smith should have made a point of giving at least one female character some agency and personality?
