Shelf Aware PodcastSaving Hamlet by Molly Horton BoothWelcome back, Literary Slummers, to another episode of Shelf Aware, the podcast where we delve into books outside our comfort zone. This week, we’re wrapping up our listener slubmitted unit (thanks, Elliot!) with an absolutely befuddling book. We’ve got time travel, the most bonkers student-directed play, and so, so many assumptions made about everyone’s sexuality. It’d been a while since we read a stinker, so I guess we should have seen this one coming.
