That is what Maris Kreizman does. For three years now, the literary Brooklynite has been pairing quotes from books with pictures from TV on her popular tumblr, Slaughterhouse 90210. The words, pulled from classics or whatever contemporary fiction Kreizman’s read recently, serve to reveal deeper meaning within the show, sometimes ironically but usually in earnest (that scene really was all about Don). Kreizman teaches us things about our favourite programs, things we might have known or felt but didn’t have the words for until she borrowed them from the literary canon for us.

GO MARIS GO!
“I love how the Internet brings people together, that you can find people with similar interests in very specific ways, and that you can build communities. I love that the Internet has allowed me to show that loving books and loving TV doesn’t have to be mutually exclusive. And I also love how, at the end of the day, you can turn off your computer and go read a book.”
<3 Maris forever.
