Description
our final novel this module with an upcoming adaptation is nightbitch by rachel yoder, which breaks new ground for the podcast, as former host bobby had (briefly) covered this already in a patreon exclusive behind the elsive paywall. (a reminder: don’t subscribe to our patreon. it’s not worth it.) we talk about feeling less qualified to talk about this novel than others in a similar space, rachel yoder’s use of the werewolf metaphor, and the meaning/reason behind a particularly gruesome action in the text. we discuss the target audience for the novel, whether the transformation into nightbitch is metaphorical or literal (and if it matters one way or the other), and the satire on display. tulsa refuses to care about the film mean girls. we discuss the upcoming adaptation of nightbitch (directed by marielle heller and starring amy adams) and debate whether the film will be able to portray the internal machinations at work in the novel.

a prayer for owen meany by john irving: i am doomed to remember a boy with a wrecked voice—not because of his voice, or because he was the smallest person i ever knew, or even because he was the instrument of my mother’s death, but because he is the reason i believe in god; i am a christian because of owen meany. by how to win the lottery: a book club podcast
