Lost Shoes and Lame Names: A Dissection of Cinderella Retellings Casing the Cover

    • Books

It’s a new year and a new season of Casing the Cover. We’re kicking things off with a double hitter as Mary and Jenn take on one of their favorite topics: retellings. We’ve each brought a modern version of the fairy tale classic Cinderella. Jenn’s pick, My Fairy Godmother is a Drag Queen by David Clawson, gives us a gender bent LGBT romance. Mary’s choice, If the Shoe Fits by Julie Murphy, reimagines the Cinderela story as a dating show featuring a plus size Cindy.

Join us as we compare these modernized versions of the world’s most famous fairy tale, and discuss how the retellings take on the story’s iconic details, and stick around for our analysis of how Disney has brainwashed you with the color blue. All this and more in our first episode of 2022!
