Note sull'episodio
We start our book and movie voyage off with a book that was a massive smash and STILL managed to get lost in the conversation about its much more well-known film adaptation: JAWS by Peter Benchley, and of course the film directed by Stephen Spielberg. We'll get in there and talk about the mafia and affair parts you may not be familiar with, cut through how unlikeable the book characters are in comparison to the film, and ponder an important question: what is up with the food on Amity? And how long until I suggest a "Food Corner" with its own theme song? (P.S. for those keeping track at home, the bread soup I was trying to remember is: salmorejo)
Content warnings: Discussions of rape, violence, death (including a child and dog), cruelty to animals, infidelity
