The Banned Book Club: The Virgin Suicides

JANUARY 4 — The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides

The Lisbon sisters are shrouded in mystery, myth, and mourning. This dreamy and devastating novel unpacks the way society views girlhood, grief, and control—and has been challenged for its treatment of suicide and sexuality.

We’re starting the new year by discussing the power and the peril of the gaze, the cost of silence, and the stories we project onto others.
