"A teenager's brain is an oppressive place to spend a lot of time," she said.*
This week on the MashReads Podcast we chat with Cline about her debut **vel, The Girls. The book follows Evie, a teen in the '60s, during the summer when she finds herself pulled into a Manson-like commune. Join us as we talk about cults and communes, the complicated nature of friendship and whether The Girls gets the challenges of being a teen right.
And as always, we close the show with recommendations:
Emma is reading The Great Fires, a book of poems by Jack Gilbert.
Peter recommends taking time and just appreciating the fall. "I feel like fall is so lovely in all the ways that poets always talk about."
Sophie recommends Zootopia. "It's a very layered movie!"
Proma recommends the pilots for Pitch and Insecure. She also recommends the Twitter account Birds Rights Activists. "If you need to laugh, go subscribe to that Twitter account **w."
