Lionizing

I haven’t read Lionizing in many years. It’s just as silly as I remember. Robert Jones has been lionized for his nose since birth - as if this is something of which a person should be extremely proud. He is called a genius for having a nose. What in the world?!? The story definitely makes fun of society for holding weightless things as some of the most important elements in life. In particular, Poe takes quite a few jabs at high society and royalty. This story didn’t really do anything for me. Although, I do love the part where the father kicks his son out of the house - quite humorous and worthy of a star. However, I do love his darker stories so much more.
