A Novel Adaptation8 Kesä 2020

43 - Room by Emma Donoghue

Imagine if you were born and grew up in a tiny tool shed in someone's backyard and the only person you've ever known is Ma? We take a dive into the world of Jack, a 5 year-old boy who only knows Ma and Room. His world gets turned upside down when Ma informs Jack that there is a whole world outside of Room and they have to escape. The book and material are heavy, but our conversation wasn't. We are doing this.

Drink:

The Gin Lollipop

1 oz gin

1 oz peach liqueur

5 oz of orange juice

1 oz of seltzer water

Shake and strain into an ice-filled collins glass, then add seltzer water. Garnish with a slice of orange and a cherry, and serve.

Our Drinking Game for the Story:

Take a drink:

Everytime Jack throws a temper tantrum

Every time you can tell Ma is THIS CLOSE to losing her shit

Keep drinking nervously throughout the carpet/truck scene, because holy shit.

Any time Jack is introduced to something to the outside world

Take a shot whenever you feel so uncomfortable.

Raise your glass when you've found out that Old Nick has been apprehended and sent to jail.
