Moffie
b'
Thanks to listener Alex, Brenna and Joe head to South Africa to discuss conscription, Apartheid, and queer New Adults in Andr\\xe9 Carl van der Merwe\'s semi-autobiographical 2006 novel Moffie and Oliver Hermanus\' 2019 film adaptation.
This is a rough one! Apart from the homophobia we expected from a military narrative, there\'s also plenty of racism, misogyny, and animal death.
Each text has something to recommend: the book is poetic and rich with detail, while the film\'s scenery and a key long take flashback are stunning.
