A Separate Peace: rampant heterosexuality abounds

In honor of the California Supreme Court's recent decision regarding prop 8, I'm covering a novel that celebrates exactly the sort of thing prop 8 is all about.

Obviously, it was no contest. A Separate Peace simply fit every criterion I was looking for. It's common knowledge that all-male boarding schools are hotbeds of good old-fashioned woman-lovin'.

Although I could commemorate the court's decision in a verbal manner, I thought my message would be conveyed more powerfully with the help of some visuals.

And thus, I present to you, three possible movie posters for John Knowles' A Separate Peace. Each covers a main theme of the book:


FEAR!

A Separate Peace 3


FRIENDSHIP!

A Separate Peace 1


HEARTFELT SORROW!

A Separate Peace 2


Yeah... traditional marriage = the shit, basically.
