Go missing with the #BookSquad as we discuss the new movie Where’d You Go Bernadette?, based on the novel by Maria Semple. We talk about how the epistolary form translates on screen, the depiction of a few female characters, and the thing everyone is wondering: What is Bernadette’s deal anyway? In the second half of this #othersode, Emily interviews Kate Davies, author of the new novel In at the Deep End, which has been described as a “lesbian Bridget Jones.” Then we get into listener feedback on The Lion King (including the politics of asking for refunds at movies) and what’s on the #BookSquadBlog! Read along with us for our next #bookpisode on The Memory Policy by Yoko Ogawa (September 9) and for our next #othersode on We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson, featuring special guests Lisa Kroger and Melanie Anderson (authors of Monster, She Wrote and co-hosts of podcast Know Fear) on September 23.
