how to win the lottery #002 – pizza girl by jean kyoung frazier
grab a slice of pepperoni and pickle pizza because it’s time to talk about pizza girl by jean kyoung frazier. in our latest book club sesh, we talk about how pizza girl‘s cover art belies its narrative weight, the narrative’s commentary on jobs and paid vs. unpaid labor, and its ties to our previous book, death in her hands by ottessa moshfegh. bob shares an experience with a pizza delivery guy he knew, joey shows his illiteracy, and we discuss the specific difficulties in casting a film adaptation of this book and whether or not the book has a happy ending (and, either way, how it could be happier). plus: new patreon perks and a new crime.
