14: The Daughter of Doctor Moreau

In this episode, Jason and Bella venture into another Silvia Moreno-Garcia novel, this time discussing her latest release, The Daughter of Doctor Moreau—"a dreamy reimagining of The Island of Doctor Moreau set against the backdrop of nineteenth-century Mexico." Listen in as we discuss the book’s commentary on race, colorism, and Western beauty standards, Bella ponders the age-old question, “Is there truly such a thing as a selfless act?”, and we announce our next After Dark book.   Connect with SWR: Instagram | Twitter | TikTok | Facebook | WebsiteRequest transcripts on our website: shitweveread.com/contact Shit We've Read is hosted by Laura Benson,, Jason Rico, and Bella Romero, with music by Joshua Chilton and editing by Jason Rico.
