Just a seasonally appropriate update for ya’ll – I did a nice explication of The Fall of the House of Usher a while back, in five parts. If you happen to be a Poor Bastard stuck reading the damn thing, I’ve got your back.

See here:

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

Part 4

Part 5

And here is the exciting conclusion of The Fall of the House of Usher, explicated by me.

Need the index?

Nah, I'm all set. Let's roll! )

Part 4 of The Fall of the House of Usher, by Edgar Allan Poe, explicated by Me for the benefit of Poor Bastards Who Just Need To Pass, Damn It, But Are Facing A Fucking Short Story Full Of Impenetrable Fucking Gothic Prose.

Well, at this point I’m both more fun AND longer than the Wikipedia entry.

Need the index of parts?

Get me to the explain-y parts! I can't wait no more! )

I'm probably more fun than the Wikipedia entry.

Need Index of Parts?

Nah, I'm good. Let's go! )

So I have this degree in English Literature, which mostly I don’t use for fuck-all because I’m a landlord and I spend more of my time replacing fill valves on toilets than explaining literature. This is, at least on some levels, a damn shame because explaining literature is something I’m pretty good at and enjoy doing. Pity it doesn’t pay as well as landlording.

But I still like doing it and so I am doing it here, for free. )
