This week, we chat about the re-writing of Roald Dahl’s books, and what it really means for English books. We also analyse a pair of Op-Eds from Hazel Edwards and Özge Sevindik Alkan - one of them was not telling the truth (wanna guess who?!?)
We talk about the movies we watched this week (Paris Can Wait, 2017: White Noise 2022) and the books we read: Inconceivable by Alexandra Collier and Build Your house around my body by Violet Kupersmith)

(01:30) Paris Can Wait

(04:40) White Noise, and the love-hate of Adam Driver

(13:18) Inconceivable: Alexandra Collier

(20:44) Build your house around my body: Violet Kupersmith

(27:04)Revisions to Roald Dahl's books stoke anger about censorship, but authors say change is justified

(34:45 Dear Young Girl in the Bubble-Gum-Pink Hijab: The power to write, who benefits from that power, and who gets to determine what is cultural appropriation
