“Harriet the Spy,” chapter 1. NEW BOOK, NEW BOOK! Jody and Alison start in on Louise Fitzhugh’s seminal kid-lit novel about a 11-year-old Manhattan scamp in 1964. They unpack the movies, TV, music, and newsworthy events of the year – including the New York World’s Fair, the Boston Strangler, Beatlemania, and Pop Tarts. We meet Harriet M. Welsch, Sport, Ole Golly, and let’s not ever EVER forget Mrs. Golly. Come for the literature, stay for the dramatic readings, commentary, and vintage commercials. It’s a Judy Blume book club. Join us every week!
