Ep. 286 Monsters by Claire Dederer -- The Stacks Book Club (Brittany Luse)

We're thrilled to welcome back podcaster Brittany Luse to discuss Monsters: A Fan's Dilemma by Claire Dederer for The Stacks Book Club. We discuss how race does and doesn't show up in the book, and what worked for us versus what didn't. We also consider the nature of punishment and redemption when it comes to monstrous celebrities, and ask whose genius we miss out on when we make space for the monsters.Be sure to listen to the end of today’s episode to find out what our book club pick will be for October 2023.You can find everything we discuss on today's show on The Stacks' website:https://thestackspodcast.com/2023/09/27/ep-286-monstersEpisode TranscriptConnect with Brittany: Instagram | Twitter | It’s Been a MinuteConnect with The Stacks: Instagram | Twitter | Shop | Patreon | Goodreads | SubscribeSUPPORT THE STACKSJoin The Stacks Pack on PatreonTo support The Stacks and find out more from this week’s sponsors, click here.Purchasing books through Bookshop.org or Amazon earns The Stacks a small commission.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
