Description

This week, SSR takes it allllll the way back to a classic with a conversation about Frances Hodgson Burnett’s A Little Princess. Alli and her guest discuss the things they love about this cozy read, along with the weirdness with which it approaches gender, parental responsibility, race, class, privilege, manners, and morality. They also consider how movie adaptations influence our readings of an original text and dive into the world of Instagram manifesting babes. Danya Kukafka is an agent at Trellis Literary Management and the author of Girl in Snow and Notes on an Execution. Follow her on Instagram (@danyakukafka) and Twitter (@danyakukafka).

Each week, freelance writer and lifelong bookworm Alli Hoff Kosik will challenge a guest to reread a literary throwback or to experience for the first time ever a book they may have missed as a kid. After that, they'll be asked to spill all the feels and all the opinions about that book on the air for your podcast-listening pleasure. Every Tuesday, you can find us breaking down an old school read from our tween and teen days on a new episode of the show. We'll cover everything from The Baby-Sitters Club to Holes, Nancy Drew to Harry Potter. This time around, we're a little wiser (yay!), a lot older (ugh.), and of legal age to drink wine... so we'll have a lot to say. Happy Reading!
