As for today’s story, Maya, Gerald, Anais and Gael discussed The Kitchen Child by Angela Carter. Set in England, this rowdy comedy centers around a boy born to an estate’s cook, and whose father remains a puzzling mystery. Opinions diverged. On the most positive side, Anais and Gael enjoyed the humor and cartoonish aspects of the story. Meanwhile, Gerald took issue  with the mistreatment of the female cook, and Maya struggled with what could be seen as assault dismissed for laughs. Boy, what a debate!
