A review by hopeloveslit
Hangsaman by Shirley Jackson

3.5

Once again, Shirley Jackson has left me speechless, bewildered, and apprehensive. The Hangsaman is one of those eccentric novels you must revisit because so much is happening under the surface. Jackson does this so subtly. Many things can fly over your head (I think quite a bit flew over mine.) Nonetheless, after reading novels like this, I adore the confusion. The feeling of scouring the internet to find theories and analysis of a book… that's what I live for.
