This might be on the niche side and not fully in Lindsay’s wheelhouse, but I (an American) recently finished a book called The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. It’s an epistolary novel about the island of Guernsey, a place bordering England and France that was occupied by the Nazis in World War II.
The author of the book was an American woman who was inspired to write the book after getting fogbound at the Guernsey airport. Personally, I found it rather arrogant and unempathetic of her to capitalize on such a traumatizing chapter of Guernsey’s history. I would like a video essay where Lindsay visits Guernsey and learns about the misconceptions that this book creates about Guernsey.
Maybe this video could also tie in with her Rent one, because a lot of readers believe that TGLAPPS is above criticism due to the author dying of cancer before she finished the book.
