Tea or Books? #74: YA (yay or nay?) and Stoner vs The Easter Parade
Young Adult fiction – are we fans? And Richard Yates vs John Williams.
https://www.stuckinabook.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Tea-or-Books-episode-74.mp3
In the first half of this episode, we venture into potentially controversial territory as we discuss young adult (YA) fiction, and whether or not we think it should be in our reading diet. In the second half, we pit two mid-century American novels against each other: Stoner by John Williams and The Easter Parade by Richard Yates.
Do let us know what you’d choose! The article about Stoner that I mention is on Victoria’s blog here.
