So Mary Katherine was definitely the person who poisoned her family, right? Everyone jumped to conclusions when Constance was accused and tried. How does the use of the unreliable narrator affect the book? How does it change the way you view Yellowjackets? How do the themes otherness, love and devotion, and mental illness relate to the Yellowjackets? Would you consider this work an exploration of Jackson's own psyche and agoraphobia? What do you think Shirley Jackson would have thought of Yellowjackets? WHALC was named one of the "Ten Best Novels" of 1962 and is said to have one of the best opening paragraphs of all time.Ĭonsidering this novel was published well before the event of Yellowjackets, do you think any of the characters would have read or responded to this book before or after the crash?. The novel was recently adapted into a feature film starring Alexandra Daddario, Taissa Farmiga, Sebastian Stand and Crispin Glover.Shirley Jackson passed away in her sleep 3 years after the publication of this novel. WHALC was published in 1962, and is the final novel of Shirley Jackson.The results of the most recent poll showed that everyone wanted to stick with WHALC for June, and vote on a new list moving forward, so that's what we're doing! (Honestly, very excited you all still wanted to read this book!!)
