I hope everyone reads the extraordinary YA classic “How Do You Live?” By Genzaburo Yoshino with a great foreword by @neilhimself —The novel was a favorite book of filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki (“Princess Mononoke”, “Spirited Away” & “Totoro”) when he was a boy, & he is now adapting. https://twitter.com/nypl/status/1540007097097752577

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Roald Dahl
Min Jin LeeMin Jin Lee

*Squid Game* is an allegory of extreme capitalism. This survivor drama is also a classic Romance, a hero's quest, resonant of Roald Dahl's *Charlie and the Chocolate Factory* as well as the search of Diogenes. We relate to these narratives, because we yearn for moral decency.
