F***bois of Literature Book Podcast

Show Notes

Our guest from our episode on CATS and THE WIZARD OF OZ, Abby @ClapIfYouLikeMe, is back to discuss the quintessential coming-of-age book for AFAB people, Judy Blume's 1970 classic Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret. We discuss bodies and puberty and faith and gay priests in this episode.

And for the record, AO3 only has one fic based on the book, and it's kind of amazing: https://archiveofourown.org/works/11853729

If you're familiar with the movie, it means you probably know NOTHING about the book. JAWS by Peter Benchley is an absolute classic, a multi-million dollar earning blockbuster book turned movie that just about MADE Steven Spielberg. But what's up with the novel? Just some of your classic summertime, monster-movie beach read type stuff like mafia-led real estate fraud, class politics, and dead sheep.
