The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty (Sleeping Beauty, #1)1983

In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

This book is provocative, but not in a woke way, think decadent fantasy, not social justice sermon. Modern woke criteria barely register. If anything, it would horrify today's sensitive censors for entirely different reasons.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

This book is far from woke, if anything, it doubles down on traditional fairy tale roles and pushes boundaries in other, less ideological ways. Its focus is on eroticism and subversion of innocence, not contemporary identity politics or forced representation.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While it certainly subverts traditional morality and gender roles, it does so through kink and taboo rather than woke themes. It doesn't demonize masculinity or rewrite history for modern ideology, its shock value is another beast entirely.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There's little evidence of ideological monoculture. The book exists outside modern political conversations, with characters motivated by personal desires, not group identity. Alternative perspectives aren't uniformly mocked or villainized for political reasons.
