BSG #61: Reading Comprehension Breakdown / Unsettled Ground
Come along to the (not as cozy as you’d think) English countryside for our discussion of Unsettled Ground by Claire Fuller. We talk about the setting, the writing style, the sibling relationship at the heart of the novel, the twist(s), and whether this book is sadness porn. Read along with us for our upcoming Othersode on December 13th as we shift gears into nonfiction with the essay collection The 2000s Made Me Gay by Grace Perry. Then for our next Bookpisode, we’ll be discussing Everyone Knows Your Mother Is a Witch by Rivka Galchen on December 27th.
