Hey guys!
Lookit! I figured out how to post on this thing! I did some reading today, and I found one article in particular that I found really helpful. It's the second link, though I bet the first one (an article about Russian fairytales by the same woman) will be also interesting.
THe article has a lot of examinations of her in modern fiction which are really interesting, some good stuff about her multiple personalities, and something REALLY WEIRD about how the whole cannabalism thing may be a reference to this Russian practice called REBAKING where they would put sick children in the oven to make them better.
Is everyone writing something? I haven't started yet, but I'm going to! By June 1st! Woop Woop!
