"An Animorphs Psychochronography": essay series
I <3 this so much.
An ongoing series of short essays on the “emotional, artistic and political landscape” (i.e., the 90s in America) the Animorphs series was written and set in. Each essay is centred around a single book and uses its plot and themes as a launchpad.
My girlfriend, who's a few years older, is probably more of a 90s child than me – you know, Star Trek, Teen Titans, Xena… My pop culture memories only go up to elementary school; I remember watching Mr. Dressup and Sesame Street; later, not being interested in either the Spice Girls or the Backstreet Boys; and around fourth grade, not being interested in The Matrix (until later when I was a teen, when I heard it was Philosophical).
