Hellbound Heart novel as a material for a thesis
What do you guys think about Hellbound Heart as well as other Barker's novels when it comes to be one of the novels to be analysed in a thesis?
I believe it has many interesting themes for instance; desire, body horror, gothic aesthetic, and how overall in how transgressive it is. However, my advisor said that he has never heard of it and said that it is a random book with no value and that I could as well write a thesis about Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse (lol) which made me mad.
