“FEAR AND TREMBLING IN SUNNYDALE”

Just picked up an entertaining volume, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Philosophy, which carries the subtitle mentioned above. I mean, honestly, how can anyone pass up an essay volume that includes such papers as “Also Sprach Faith: The Problem of the Happy Rogue Vampire Slayer,” “Feminism and the Ethics of Violence: Why Buffy Kicks Úš,” “‘My God, It’s Like a Greek Tragedy’: Willow Rosenberg and Human Irrationality,” “High School is Hëll: Metaphor Made Literal,” and my personal favorite, “A Kantian Analysis of Moral Judgment in Buffy th Vampire Slayer.”

Edited by James B. South, it is to my mind required reading. Taking my time, I will have finished it a week from Friday. You all have that much time to find it, buy it and read it. There WILL be a quiz.
