The June Book Club – Enter the Body by Joy McCullough

Hi everyone!

Our book club pick for June is Joy McCullough’s Enter the Body – yep, we’re giving you just a tiny bit more Shakespeare, but this time it’s in the form of a book that reads an awfully lot like an experimental fairy-tale retelling (and we are HERE FOR IT.)

“Body turns Shakespeare on his head while honoring his talent as the girls retells their stories on their own terms…. Truly outstanding.” – Booklist, starred review

“At once tender, poetic and ferocious, Enter The Body breathes new life into the Bard’s most tragic heroines. More than a tribute to Shakespeare, this kaleidoscopic, ambitious novel-in-verse gives Juliet, Ophelia, Cordelia, and Lavinia the chance to tell their own stories full of passion, justice, sisterhood, and love. Simply spectacular.” – Michael L. Printz Award winner Laura Ruby, author of Bone Gap

We’ll be meeting on June 22nd, 2023 at 7PM ET, so be sure to join us on Patreon at the $7 book club level or higher to take part. Hope to see you there!
