Emma Donoghue’s novel is more compelling than its film adaptation, but its third-person limited perspective restricts the depth of its historical and religious complexity. Though thoughtfully written and thematically intriguing, it ultimately feels narrow in scope and uneven in impact.

Our mission is to challenge the status quo of adulthood, keeping what Carl Jung called “the play instinct” alive for readers, and writers. Whether we’re writing about gardening, a film, or a cultural event, we curate and write every story at The Laffien Times with a playful instinct, sometimes blurring the line between fact and fiction in the same way children do during playtime – not to escape or to lie, but to explore ourselves and to make good stories. We see it as a necessary skill for adults to do the same once in a while, as we believe it’s critical to the continued development of the Self. Do we know who we really are, what we desire, or what we believe? “Know Thyself” is a creative eight-part course to guide you through your identity journey.
