Description: Continuing our discussions of classic American novels, this week we read Alice Walker's The Color Purple!
We talk about how the novel explores girlhood and relationships between women, the Black experience in the early 20th century, and finding the joy in life even through darkness. We also look at the 1985 and 2023 films and the stage musical, and how these adaptations interpreted the themes and characters from the book.
Segments also include our pop music recommendations and What Are We Watchin'
