Emily M. Danforth's 2012 YA novel, and current entry into #velshibannedbookclub, explores "sexuality, family dynamics, religion, friendship and love." And yet, it ended up on conservative book bans. Danforth joins Velshi to discuss why. 

This recording from March 22, 2024. Abstract Dark Academia (DA), as a genre, is an offshoot of academic fiction that has become prominent over the last decade. After defining DA and exploring its roots, I dive into Intertextuality to ask why modern authors have chosen DA as their genre of choice as they reimagine elements of classic works. The works I chose to analyze are The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova (2005), which exists in connection with Bram Stoker's Dracula (1897); Conversion by Katherine Howe (2014), which exists in connection with The Crucible by Arthur Miller (1953); Plain Bad Heroines by Emily M. Danforth (2020), which exists in connection with The Story of Mary MacLane, alternatively titled I Await the Devil's Coming by Mary MacLane (1902); and The Society for Soulless Girls by Laura Steven (2022), which exists in connection with Robert Louis Stevenson's Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1886). Authors give myths breaths of new life century after century, and works that have asked pointed questions of society and their readers often stay around long enough for new, younger readers to ask those same questions of their own changing societal contexts by building on the existing classical works. DA gives a structured power setting that can be treated as a sandbox of sorts for enquiring minds on how new people and places have altered responses to questions that have been asked again and again in literature. About the Presenter Laurel M. Stevens completed her undergraduate in English at Westminster College where she first delved into fantasy studies with Tolkien. Her masters coursework at Signum focused on Imaginative Literature and has allowed her to explore fantasy at greater depths and introduced her to areas of studies such as adaptation and Dark Academia. She reads and reviews heavily in modern fantasy and science fiction, yet remains interested in a wide range of literature.

Summary: Lights, Camera, Action! In our case, sometimes the action is steamy and other times involves more knives and screaming. Devin and Holly discuss books that take place on set today, and agree that the pizzazz and magic of making films or TV shows add a fun dimension to books across genres. Devin highlighted the focus for romance authors on the “everyman” character getting their spotlight - readers won't relate as well to famous people being famously in love. Holly appreciated how sets can callow for a great locked room environment, working with a finite group of cast and crew.  Topics Discussed: The Dagger (4:09): Holly discussed Plain Bad Heroines by Emily M. Danforth, a 640-page Literary Gothic Horror novel referred to as a “sapphic romp” set in a cursed New England boarding school. The book oscillates between 1902 and the experience of students at the Brookhants School for Girls and the 2015 film production of a “Blair Witch”-style retelling of the haunting events that closed the school over a century before. Holly's key takeaways were: The writing is dark, funny, and incisive; it vibrates with creepy environmental and natural horror elements (lots of wasps). Danforth drew upon stories surrounding films such as The Omen, The Exorcist, and Poltergeist as inspiration for her plotlines.  Danforth wanted her novel to focus on explicitly queer characters vs. queer coding and queer erasure. Holly appreciated the range of representation through the novel and how each character relates to their own sexuality vs. just a single perspective on how to be queer or lesbian.  The novel pivots between two storylines, which led to some confusion for the reader and ultimately a lack of cohesion. The book is quite a brick, and could probably have been edited down a bit to resolve some of the storyline pivoting.  The Heart (19:05): Devin discussed You Had Me at Hola by Alexis Daria, book one in the Primas of Power series. If you love Jane the Virgin or the Kiss Quotient, you'll have a blast with this steamy telenovela-focused novel. Jasmine Lin Rodriguez and Ashton Suárez are paired up as the protagonists of a new telenovela filmed in New York City, “Carmen in Charge.” The problem? Jasmine is giving up on romance after a very public breakup and Ashton is fighting for his last shot at success in the United States before he'd forgo his Hollywood dreams - and they have zero chemistry on screen. Devin's key takeaways were: Jasmine and Ashton as protagonists each have their own very authentic motivations that drive the plot and ensure nothing feels contrived; they need this show to succeed, they need to have on-screen chemistry, so why not run lines and scenes together after work to get it right? *Devin winks aggressively*  Daria put heavy emphasis on an all Latinx cast and crew and representation in Hollywood. She also included an intimacy coordinator for the show which highlighted the importance of consent both in private and for the telenovela.  As is the case with most romances, the fallout of this novel hinges on a miscommunication and it left Devin feeling a little underserved - Aston is almost 40 and it would have been nice to see him use his words a bit better like a real adult. Hot On the Shelf (37:27): Holly: Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas Devin: Killing Eve Series by Luke Jennings What's Making Our Hearts Race (41:42): Holly: Stone Blind by Natalie Haynes on Audiobook Devin: Shrinking on Apple TV   Instagram: @heartsanddaggerspod Website: www.heartsanddaggerspod.com   If you like what you hear, please tell your friends and rate and review us on Apple Podcasts and Spotify so that we can find our perfect audience.

This week we're discussing The Miseducation of Cameron Post (2018) directed by Desiree Akhavan. It is an adaption to the 2012 book written by Emily M. Danforth. As Becca says we discussing the miseducation of society while drawing similarities from Jamie Babbit's satire in But I'm a Cheerleader (1999) Comparing the book and the films visual elements and cutting the internal struggle of guilt, the importance of queer friendships and who do we blame for homophobia? The person themselves or society as a whole. The film brought up a lot for thought for us and new information we didn't know about, So, join us, as we scream from the top of our lungs WHATS GOING ON? Why icebergs conflict our gay experience and wonder why queer friendships in media are pushed to become relationships.

This week Tayla is joined by Alyssa from the Central library and Kayland from the OneCranston Health Equity Zone to talk about their collaboration on a program around the Read Across RI title Stamped.

Emily and Carley spent many hours sifting through Emily M. Danforth's "Plain Bad Heroines," and while they were entertained they were also extremely confused. Emily spoils everything. Carley throws shade at Ariana Grande. And the girls finally dish out another perfect score - but in what category?

To coincide with World Book Day, a bonus episode interview with the author of Plain Bad Heroines, Emily M. Danforth (The Miseducation of Cameron Post), out today in the UK! Flo and Clara, two impressionable students, are obsessed with each other and with a daring young writer named Mary MacLane, the author of a scandalous bestselling memoir. To show their devotion to Mary, the girls establish their own private club and call it the Plain Bad Heroine Society. Described by its author as "Picnic at Hanging Rock + The Blair Witch Project x lesbians". We discuss Emily's love of horror, the films that inspired this book, Mary MacLane, unrealiable narrators, the burden of likeability and so much more. This interview is totally SPOILER-FREE. Plain Bad Heroines is out now in the UK.***The Final Girls are a UK-based film collective exploring the intersections of horror film and feminism.Find out more about our projects here: thefinalgirls.co.ukFollow us on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.

Hello, thanks for tuning into another episode of BATC! We’re back together for the first time in a while, so thanks for bearing with us as we stretch our 2021 muscles. Before some very fun (and varied) book talk, we’re diving into a great fishbowl question about what fictional world we’d want to live in (permanently or temporarily). After that, we got some horror, some romance, some historical fiction, and some crime. You know us, all about ~balance~ .

We are sooo excited to bring you a very special Secret Santa episode of Books and the City. After we talk favorite Christmas traditions, we’re getting into a very fun book conversation. This week, we all read books that our Secret Santa chose for us; none of us know what anyone else was reading, and we spend the second half of the episode guessing who drew our names (and presenting the *extensive* reasoning behind our guesses (Kayla had a whole dossier)). It was so much fun, and we all discovered some great new reads along the way! Special shoutout to our amazing illustrator, Nicole, for seamlessly facilitating the Secret Santa fun.

Plain Bad Heroines : By - Emily M. Danforth Story begins in 1902, at the Brookhants School for Girls. Flo and Clara, two impressionable students, are obsessed with each other and with a daring young writer named Mary MacLane, the author of a scandalous bestselling memoir. To show their devotion to Mary, the girls establish their own private club and call it the Plain Bad Heroine Society. They meet in secret in a nearby apple orchard, the setting of their wildest happiness and, ultimately, of their macabre deaths. This is where their bodies are later discovered with a copy of Mary's book splayed beside them, the victims of a swarm of stinging, angry yellow jackets. Less than five years later, the Brookhants School for Girls closes its doors forever—but not before three more people mysteriously die on the property, each in a most troubling way.

IT’S BOOK CLUB DAY! Caitlin discusses The Miseducation of Cameron Post by Emily M. Danforth with Alex and Sam from The Bookstagays podcast! We chat about how The Bookstagays came to be, Alex and Sam’s favorite queer books, what we want to see more of in the LGBTQ+ literary world...the gay screaming is real. Then we launch into discussing Cameron Post, which broke our hearts a little in the best way. It’s a coming of age story set in rural Montana in the 90’s, and there’s lots of first love, heartbreak, and finding yourself.*Content warning for discussions of homophobia, conversion camps, and unaccepting family members.* Show NotesFind Alex on Instagram @thebookadvocate and Sam @staxsonstaxsThe BookstaGays (@thebookstagays) was created solely on a whim after Sam and Alex wanted a space to talk about queer books and talk to other queer bookstagrammers. It’s a space dedicated to the LGBTQ+ community where most of our conversations revolve around the importance of representation, intermittent dog barking, squealing with our queer friends, and yelling about all of our gay crushes and theories. We like books, we’re gay, so we put those things together to make a podcast every week!The Bookstagays episode interviewing Meryl Wilsner, author of Something To Talk AboutSam’s fave queer books: CeruleanThe House in the Cerulean SeaSomething To Talk About by Meryl WilsnerJuliet Takes A Breath by Gabby RiveraAlex’s fave queer books:You Should See Me In A Crown by Leah JohnsonCinderella Is Dead by Kalynn BayronNot Your Sidekick trilogy by C.B.

Books and the City is coming to you live from quarantine! We “got together” virtually to record this episode for the first time in a month and a half, and it was a glorious reunion. Keep listening if you’d like to find out a little bit more about what we’ve been up to, where we’re all self-isolating, and how we’re staying sane (or, in Becky’s case, losing our marbles slowly by way of adorable conversations with Ginny, the Cat). And after we get all caught up with each other, stay tuned to hear about some stellar reads (5-stars from all of us for all our respective books! That literally never happens!) We’ve got a bit of fantasy, a bit of history, some culty stuff, & oddly comforting dystopia. Read on for links, and make sure you check out our Bookshop.org/shop/booksandthecity link to shop the books we’ve discussed on the podcast! We feel weird recommending bar pairings during quarantine when you can’t go visit, but we’ll bring them back post-quar AND we will be announcing a way to help those in the service industry who have been affected by COVID soon so stay tuned!

Where do teens turn when they aren't getting the information they want and need from their schools (or often parents)? For many, it's their local bookstore or library. In this episode of The Huffington Post's Love+Sex Podcast, co-hosts Carina Kolodny and Noah Michelson explore how young adult (YA) literature -- from classics like Clan of the Cave Bear to more recent favorites like Twilight -- is providing many teens with information about sex and sexuality they aren't getting anywhere else. Kolodny and Michelson chatted with Emily M. Danforth, the author of The Misadventures of Cameron Post, Megan McCafferty, the author of the New York Times-bestselling Jessica Darling series which includes Sloppy Firsts and Amy Lang, the founder of Birds And Bees And Kids, which helps parents figure out how to approach that important -- and often intimidating -- talk about sex with their kids.
