The Stacks Book Club–June 2020

In June we will be meeting in the intersection of True Crime and the women who love it. Our book is Savage Appetite by Rachel Monroe.

Savage Appetite is an examination of women, violence, and obsession. The book is divided into four parts, and each part focuses on notorious figures in True Crime. However the book flips the narrative to show the ways in which these infamous crimes are complicated by our relationships to it. Monroe mixes reporting, personal experience, and media analysis to present a nuanced and layered understanding of the ways in which women engage with True Crime.

We will be discussing this episode on the podcast on Wednesday, June 24th. If you’d like even more discussion around this book consider joining The Stacks Pack on patreon and participating in The Stacks Virtual Book Club.
