Problematic Representation in GONE by Michael Grant

Hello FAYZ Fandom!

I’m Jay. My friend and I are revisiting the Gone series on Booktube, as it was my favorite during my teen years.

I’ve come to realize that Gone was VERY problematic, and I want to discuss the those problematic portrayals in a future video. In my early research, here are some resources that I’ve found:

“On Diversity” a blog post written by Michael Grant (w/ some *interesting* takes on representation in his books)

“Aw, They Hate Me” ... another blog post by MG after his first was ... um, not well received.

“Review: The Gone series by Michael Grant” -- which discusses problematic Austism rep with Little Pete’s character

“American Indians in Children’s Literature.” -- discussing problematic Native American representation w/ Lana’s character.

If you know of any blog posts, articles, or online conversations w/in the Gone fandom that talk about those valid criticisms, please send them my way! I want to learn as much as I can while making this video. I also want to just dive into conversations with the Gone fandom: How do we feel about Michael Grant’s problematic representation? How does it affect our enjoyment of the Gone series? Do we feel like he has improved in future books (ex: the Monster Trilogy, which I haven’t read)? Hope to hear ppl’s thoughts!

Thinking about how my friends in middle school used to call Drake sock-hand-guy.

Whip hand who? Beware of sock-hand-guy.

I was reading this Gone fanfiction, and someone said in the comments, someone wished Lana had sacrificed herself instead of Caine, and at first, I was like, “Okay, how dare you,” but then I started thinking, and then I was like, “Hold up, that actually could have been an epic moment if done right.”

I mean, imagine Lana Arwen-Lazar who has been so traumatized by the gaiaphage, who tried to destroy it once but failed, and in the process, it absolutely destroyed her mentally, who spends so much of the series trying to force it out of her mind, doesn’t just finally manage to do that but decides she’s not going to watch this thing destroy everything and everyone because she screwed up the first time. That she is not going to let it gain control again. And so she finishes what she tried to make sure of in the first place, and wins.
