Lord of the Flies (Banned Book 9)
b'
It\'s time for our final Banned Book Club of the year and we\'re going out with a "classic": William Golding\'s 1954 novel Lord of the Flies and Peter Brook\'s 1963 adaptation. Thanks to listeners Natalie and Miriam for chiming in!
This is Joe\'s first time reading the book, but it\'s so familiar because of its pop culture legacy. It\'s deeply colonial, though Brenna is frustrated by Golding\'s penchant for asking questions he doesn\'t want to explore.
Plus: fatphobia and ableism for days, wanting more characterization, how the black and white affects the viewing experience, a trauma-filled shoot, and why Joe would rather watch The Wilds on Amazon!
