[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish I could unread Olive Kitteridge. It really depressed me and made life seem small, sad and meaningless.[/quote] This is fascinating to me. I wrote a paper on it in grad school about how creating empathy is the highest function of fiction and Olive Kitteridge exemplifies that. I thought it was the ultimate story of hope. [/quote] Oh I felt no hope. It was all loneliness and quiet despair to me, with a bunch of characters going through ordinary struggles big and small. I didn't really feel the empathy at all, just the sadness of life's little upsets.[/quote]
