TFW you read a work of "great literature" and it is erudite and labyrinthine (literally and metaphorically) and it is about the sequestration of knowledge, among many other things, and you just. Don't. care.
Also, I don't care how good a book is or whether it is specifically about a closed, deeply misogynistic religious community – I am just not hear for books that have one woman in them, and she comes to a very bad end after being used and abused by men.
