Ep 26- Book of Joan

Drunk of the Book Club

OMGEEEZ! We're back, and this epi we're talking about The Book of Joan by Lidia Yuknavitch. You're in luck because we talk about: the power of wine stoppers (they work!), cutting through soft skin with wire (it's a thing in the book!), the constant action in the story, our confusion with the place name CIEL (newsflash: it's French), the fact that the story was toooooo much for us, all the positive reviews, comparison to Marilynne Robinson's book (PS It's Housekeeping, NOT Homecoming), how the book continues for what feels like forever, "womb logic," some fucked up transphobic shit-- oof, in short, we get sassy. Olivia drinks: a sauv blanc named AVA GRACE (it's from Whole Foods obvi) Ashley drinks: weeks-old rose with a tiny bit of carbonation left thanks to that mystical wine stopper We read: The Book of Joan by Lidia Yuknavitch Up next: We are Never Meeting in Real Life by Samantha Irby Music by: Matt Costa!
