Book cover for Frying Plantain by Zalika Reid-Benta (House of Anansi), with images from Little Jamaica against yellow and red backgrounds. Kara Davis is a girl caught in the middle β€” of her North American identity and her desire to be a β€œtrue” Jamaican, of her mother and grandmother’s rages and life lessons, of having to avoid being thought of as too β€œfaas” or too β€œquiet” or too β€œbold” or too β€œsoft.” In these twelve interconnected stories, we see Kara on a visit to Jamaica, startled by the sight of a severed pig’s head in her great-aunt’s freezer; in junior high, the victim of a devastating prank by her closest friends; and as a teenager in and out of her grandmother’s house, trying to cope with ongoing battles of unyielding authority. Longlisted for the Giller Prize. https://houseofanansi.com/products/frying-plantain

Of course this theme is Frankenstein! With a number of new Frankenstein movies on the way, we’ll see if they eventually get added to my canon. But click thru to see what’s on there now. Which is your favorite Frankenstein movie?

The Frankenstein Canon A list of 17 films compiled on Letterboxd, including Frankenstein (1931), Bride of Frankenstein (1935), Son of Frankenstein (1939), The Curse of Frankenstein (1957) and Frankenstein Conquers the World...

I was going to share this in October, but realized that today is Mary Shelley’s birthday, and therefore Frankenstein Day! Since I often get requests for movie recommendations, this is the first in a series of themed lists I’ll be posting on letterboxd, my personal canon for said theme.
