On the very first episode of Grape Culture, Sam, Kim and Alex discuss the 10 short stories in Lauren Holmes’ Barbara the Slut and Other People, how the experiences of the characters were relevant to their experiences, and what the merits of a dick machine are.
The book: Barbara the Slut and Other People
Lauren Holmes’ debut short story collection focuses on snapshots of the lives of several American men, women, and even dogs. This poignant anthology offers moments of dark wit alongside pockets of sadness and joy, all told by inherently flawed but relatable figures.
