Looking for an uplifting tale for the holidays? This isn't it! This week Herrick and Cooley discuss Brenda Peynado's "The Drownings," a story of adolescents' lust for danger and each other. A brilliant exploration of what it means to be young, this story is both disturbing and beautiful. So read it first, and then join the discussion (in your head or by shouting at us from your couch or car).
