The Book Interrupted ladies are joined by Ashley for our first fan book of our banned book season. Ashely’s book pick is “When Dad Killed Mom” by Julius Lester. This novel has been banned for sexual content and genital references. The Book Interrupted members give their first impressions of the book and continue in the group discussion. The women discuss how this book is a fiction, two perspectives, murder, saunas, hair porosity, vagina acceptance and phallic symbols.
