“Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?” by Joyce Carol Oates is
a rare short story that's more famous than its film adaptation. In
episode 222, Laura from the “Why the Book Wins” podcast & YouTube
channel joins Luke & James to discuss both versions and help them
get to the heart of the enduring tale. Topics include hints of a
supernatural explanation for Arnold Friend, Laura Dern’s surprising
revelation about the film that came years later, director Joyce
Chopra's giving back, and the unique vulnerability of girls in our
society. They finish by casting their vote for which version
should be considered the best!
