Back for more adventures on the road to Young Adulthood! This month, Ariel and James look back to the early days of Young Adult literature with an oft-overlooked contemporary retelling of an old classic. The Greek myth of Thesseus rewritten to tell the story of a young biracial Black and Jewish woman growing up in Philadelphia who goes on a quest to find her father, Fran Ross' 1974 novel Oreo is that rarest of treats: an honest-to-God funny book! Join us as we try to map out where this book sits on our journey across the landscape of YA. And stay for the incredibly hot takes on everything from shortage of satirical YA lit to what it takes to make a "funny" sexual assault scene. Either the mid-Atlantic is going to be very proud or we should expect to be hearing from some lawyers soon.
