Into the Drowning Deep by Mira Grant with Destiny Dimattei
Manage episode 319387407 series 2625030
I have something really different for you this week. I know that recently we've had an episode that strayed off the path of body acceptance books but this is way, way off the path (we can barely see the path!). This week I'm discussing a fictional book called Into the Drowning Deep by Mira Grant with a second time podcast guest, Destiny Dimattei. I truly believe in the value of taking our body liberation lens and applying it to other books we read. It insures integrity in our values and keeps our critical thinking skills alive. So while this book isn't specifically a how-to on the treatment of marginalized identities, there are some important lessons within. Destiny and I explore fatness, disability, mental health and sexuality in the pages of this novel. Here are a few more of the things we discussed:
- Destiny updates us on her podcast and Facebook groups
- Why Destiny chose this book
- The basic plot of Into the Drowning Deep
- Does this book fit into the horror genre?
- What are the components of horror?
- The treatment of the characters who are deaf
- Other marginalized identities in this book
- The ending *shaking my fist*
- Media as a character in the boook
- What is Mira Grant REALLY trying to say
Keep reading everyone!
