Public Domain is indeed a bitch. If you write a book, NEVER DIE unless you want it ruined by someone else.

>Author is bisexual with they/them pronouns
Modern society needs to be fucking nuked back to the stone age.

You've got to be fucking kidding me... This SHOULD be illegal.

I took a women's lit class in college (required, not by choice), and the entire reading list for the quarter consisted of this garbage.

>>>>In 1871, Carlota Moreau lives with her father, Dr. Moreau, at the hacienda Yaxaktun. She has a chronic illness and requires weekly treatments to stay healthy. Dr. Moreau's experiments involve the creation of human-animal hybrids. Carlota spends much of her time with two hybrids named Cachito and Lupe, as well as the mayordomo Montgomery.

>>>>By 1877, Moreau's financial situation is precarious. The hacienda's owner, Hernando Izalde, is losing faith that Moreau's research is a good investment. Hernando's son Eduardo visits Yaxaktun with his cousin Isidro. After a brief courtship, Eduardo proposes to Carlota. Moreau approves, hoping that this will secure his finances. Isidro disapproves, and sends Montgomery to tell Hernando.

>>>>Hernando arrives to prevent the marriage. Carlota strikes Hernando; she grows claws and hisses at him. Hernando fires Moreau and tells him to vacate the hacienda. Montgomery forces the three Izalde men to leave at gunpoint, but they promise to return with more men. Moreau reveals that Carlota is a hybrid. She does not truly need her weekly injections; he has been drugging her in order to keep her docile and to keep her jaguar traits submerged. Carlota angrily shoves Moreau, injuring him.

>>>>Carlota releases the hybrids; most of them choose to seek shelter with nearby Mayan rebels. The Izaldes return. Eduardo promises that he will still take Carlota as his mistress, but she rejects him. Montgomery and Lupe assist the other hybrids in escaping, then return for a final confrontation. Isidro, Dr. Moreau, and Hernando are all killed. In her anger, Carlota's jaguar traits emerge; she and Montgomery work together to kill Eduardo.

>>>>Montgomery and Carlota blame all of the deaths on rebels. With her inheritance, Carlota promises to build a safe home for the surviving hybrids. Montgomery leaves to search for them, but promises to return.

>Major themes of feminism and colonialism

Reading the plot of this trash was hard to take.

Critically acclaimed bestseller btw

i was wondering if you could do a male retelling of some beloved women's fiction but i can't think of anything actually worth parodying. handmaid's tale? reframe it as a heroic incel revolt. maybe take a bunch of metoo narratives and turn them into the whimsical adventures of big harv, starlet defiler.

makes total sense, all you crackers are xenophiles

I don't remember, but I still have them in a box. I'll go dig them out in a bit.

>>24508726
Please provide descriptions of plot.

>>24508578
this book has a PUV (pages until victimhood) of 2. from the second page:
>“My family, they picked me a husband but he was bad. Lazy, did nothing all day, then he beat me at night. I didn’t complain, not for a long time. Then one morning he hit me hard. Too hard. Or maybe as hard as every other time, but I wouldn’t take it any longer. So I grabbed my things and I went away. I came to Yaxaktun because nobody can find you here,”
still, for a brownoid woman it shows some restraint to have a PUV as high as 2. many can't help but start whining in the opening paragraph.

I don't remember all that much from them desu. I think I took the class back in 2018. I breezed through the reading and retained the plots just long enough to write the required essays. Broad strokes - the first one is obvious, the second one is a retelling of the myth of Atlus, the third is a retelling of Iphis and Ianthe set in modern day Scotland or England or some shit, the fourth is an adaptation of a Russian fairy tale, and the last one I don't remember a single thing about at all.

Why did you keep this fucking shit?

After graduating, I packed up all my textbooks and shit into boxes. I thought I'd try to sell them online and make a couple shekels back, but ultimately it seemed like too much work for not a whole lot of profit. Then I just kinda forgot about them. I plan on going through all my old shit soon. These won't be getting spared.

>>24507965
You're shit.
