Episode Synopsis "A Conversation and Book Reading with Dami Scott"
Can Jane Austen's works remain relevant in the 21st century? Guest Dami Scott certainly thinks so! A writer, teacher, and social commentator, Scott makes a compelling case for breathing new life into Austen retellings. Join us as she reads from her upcoming book, Persuaded: A Sista's Modern Retelling of Persuasion, and shares her thoughts on everything from Sir Walter's snobbery to Jane Austen's relevance in the modern world. Oh, and you'll have to hear her fabulous answer to my ridiculous question at the end of the podcast. Let me know what you think! If you're interested in Scott's reviews and talks, check out her Facebook group, Black Girl Loves Jane, as well as her insightful talk on color-conscious casting at Jane Austen & Co. The music clips in this podcast episode come from Anchor's library, with the exception of my attempt to play the 1995 film Persuasion's theme song on piano around minute four.
