Backtalk: So Burning Books is Back?

This week, Dahlia and Amy get into the recent campus conflict when white students with hurt feelings thought it'd be a good idea to burn books written by a visiting author. Jennine Capó Crucet was invited to Georgia Southern University to speak about her novel, which was required reading for some freshmen students at the school. Students confronted her during the Q&A and burned her novel after Capó Crucet's lecture! Plus, we celebrate Indigenous People's Day and what it means to decolonize a federal holiday. READ In "Molly Fox's Birthday" by Deirdre Madden, an unnamed narrator spends the day in her friend's home. Molly is an actress visiting London, and the narrator, a playwright inhabiting Molly's Irish cottage on her birthday, reflects on their friendship and the crafts of writing and acting. WATCH "Doubt," starring Meryl Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams, and the incomparable Viola Davis was released in 2008 and worth a re-watch in this moment. LISTEN "Aute Couture" by Rosalia
