"I mean, when you're trapped in a box in the dark with three other boys, what else are you gonna talk about?"After two years of you asking for it, we finally took on Neal Shusterman's beloved and disturbing 2007 dystopian novel, Unwind. Kellie and Daphne are joined by longtime Unwind fan and our good friend, Lin, to discuss the book's real-life inspirations, political resonance, and shocking, frenetic plot. This book tackles several complex and emotionally charged issues alongside your typical YA hijinks and teenage drama, and we try to strike that balance in this episode as well.Links:Neal Shusterman Shelf Awareness Interview: https://www.shelf-awareness.com/sar-issue.html?issue=1149#m20670BBC News Bulletin: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/6171083.stmAdditional Reading on Organ Memory: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0306987719307145https://www.mdpi.com/2673-3943/5/1/2https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/medical-pseudoscience/donors-organ-donors-personality-lets-approach-sensiblyNational Marrow Donor Program (US): https://www.nmdp.org/get-involved/join-the-registryEpisode Suggestions Form: forms.gle/x2F2V73N6G4DwnmA9 Hosted on Acast.
