.Controversial.Works.of.Fiction.
This site is dedicated to one of my favorite topics (and it's not even related to Green Day at all, guys!). It is, however, related to my favorite literary character, Holden Caulfield, who happens to be a prime example of a controversial protaganist. Just click a link on the main menu and it will take you to a novel and its description. Or, you can go to my personal site.
"Fiction reveals truths reality obscures."- Jessamyn West
Throughout the course of recorded history, many issues have been taboo and avoided by the general public in conversation. For every one of these issues, however, there was a work of fiction to counter it. These works of fiction exposed the truths that the people and governments of the time wished to disclose, making public knowledge of corruption, new innovations and ideas, and progressive movements. Fictional characters acted as messengers, and throughout the courses of these works the truths were revealed. Often these messages were hidden within the work itself, threaded into the larger quilt of literature. More often, however, they were quite clear, often causing the works to be controversial. The authors of such works persevered, however, to make the truths known and available to the public.
