Ep. 273 Oreo by Fran Ross -- The Stacks Book Club (Hannah Oliver Depp)
Loyalty Bookstores owner Hannah Oliver Depp returns to discuss our June book club pick Oreo by Fran Ross. We talk about the history and context of this 1974 satire, including the story of Fran Ross herself. We wonder how to categorize this novel about a Black and Jewish teenaged girl who finds her self in man precarious situations, and we ask what to make of a book that pokes fun at just about everyone.
There are spoilers in this episode.
Be sure to listen to the end of today’s episode to find out what our book club pick will be for July 2023.
