Ep. 43: Crazy Jack by Donna Jo Napoli
Manage episode 304505756 series 2987098
This week, we return to one of the queens of fairy tale retellings, Donna Jo Napoli. Her reimagining of the Jack and the Beanstalk tale, Crazy Jack, came out in 1999 and focuses on a Jack who is dealing with the trauma of losing his father. When a handful of beans provide a possible clue to his father's disappearance seven years ago, Jack can't stop himself from chasing the truth. Drew and Cassie discuss the romanticization of farming, the introduction of women in Jack retellings, our general opinions of Napoli books, the hazy presence of magic, rainbows, and much more!
