Wetlands (Banned Book Club 6)
b'
Wanna read/watch something gross? Well we have you covered! This month\'s Banned Book Club is tackling Charlotte Roche\'s notorious, controversial German bestseller Wetlands (2008) and David Wnendt\'s 2013 film adaptation.
Using insights from Laura (who originally brought this to our attention), as well as Miriam, Juha, Victoria and Tea, Books & Chocolate, we tackle the gross out factor, ponder the "feminist" interpretation, and critique the ending.
Plus: why is the film more palatable? How delightful is star Carla Juri? And, that age old question: are we just prudes?
