"Junk Food in Literary Form" ITF Read: Twilight (2005 novel)

Stephenie Meyer exploded in popularity with her angsty, teenage-heartthrob, vampire romance novels. The book brought a lot of people joy, but also made a lot of other people furious. In episode 262, after the dust has settled, Luke & James read the novel for the first time and try to figure out how it came to be one of the most talked about books of all time, including the author's unexpected path to superstardom, the merits of "quality" prose, how the book borrows from horror, and whether they would choose to become sparkly vampires themselves. Join them next week for the film!
