- Against YA: Adults should be embarrassed to read children’s books.
-
It’s not simply that YA readers are asked to immerse themselves in a character’s emotional life—that’s the trick of so much great fiction—but that they are asked to abandon the mature insights into that perspective that they (supposedly) have acquired as adults. When chapter after chapter in Eleanor & Park ends with some version of “He’d never get enough of her,” the reader seems to be expected to swoon. But how can a grown-up, even one happy to be reminded of the shivers of first love, not also roll her eyes?
Voilà pourquoi je ne suis pas fan du genre. Je ne vois pas comment trouver du plaisir à me replonger dans l’adolescence que je ne regrette pas une seconde d’avoir quittée il y a longtemps.
