Velshi Banned Book Club: β€˜Rebecca’ by Daphne du Maurier with Jennifer Egan Daphne Du Maurier's β€œRebecca” is now 87 years old, it is an immediate best-seller, never once taken out of print, and one of the best examples of Gothic literature of all time. It has also inspired many writers and readers, including the singular, award-winning, and best-selling author Jennifer Egan. Egan read it for the first time at just 11 years old and, as she tells it, was so deeply enthralled with the novel that her mother asked her to please stop reading it. Years later, she wrote her own Gothic.

What could be better than a #VelshiBannedBookClub meeting with the singular @egangoonsquad.bsky.social? A #VelshiBannedBookClub meeting on Gothic classic β€œRebecca” by Daphne Du Maurier *with* @egangoonsquad.bsky.social. #Velshi πŸ“š
