Gifts for English Majors
English majors have read enough serious literature. The best gifts for them are things that make them laugh at what they love — and nothing does that better than an absurdist literary experiment.
What English majors find funny
English majors appreciate humor that plays with form, genre, and literary convention. They have read the serious canon; a gift that lampoons that canon in a smart way lands differently than a generic funny book.
Why Archive books work
A 261-page novel consisting entirely of 'ew' is exactly the kind of gift an English major will appreciate — it uses the vocabulary of serious literature (novel, pages, publication, ISBN) to deliver an absurdist joke about what novels are.
