122. The Wild Book by Juan Villoro
b'
We\\u2019re closing out our spring semester of children\\u2019s classics with one final book about a book\\u2014and another richly imagined story in translation, The Wild Book by Juan Villoro. This modern story reached great acclaim in Mexico, with an English translation finally reaching America in 2017.\\xa0 We found this work a\\xa0 compelling companion to our first children\\u2019s work in translation, Inkheart, and we share our thoughts on the book\\u2019s proposed relationship between books and reading, how this modern work stacks up besides tried-and-true classics, and the supernatural elements that feel grounded in the magical realism traditions of incredible Lantix authors.
We love reading and discussing books with our listeners, and we hope you\\u2019ll join our group of nerdy readers for a summer of EPIC reading over on our Patreon at\\xa0patreon.com/novelpairings. Annual subscriptions are now available at a discounted price.
