Week 5--Fairy Tales, Scientific Stories, and Literary Ones

Submitted by Anne Dalke on Sun, 09/30/2007 - 9:38pm
Hi, guys. This week's reading is Edwin Abbott's Flatland which, like Brecht's Galileo, is a story about why and how people revise stories and what the consequences are of so doing. What does Flatland add to our ongoing thinking about such matters? To our thinking about the relation between fairy tales, scientific stories, and literary ones?
