Andrew Shaffer interview - Tantorious episode 50

Fifty Shames of Earl Grey is a shrewd, laugh-out-loud parody of E. L. James’s Fifty Shades of Grey, the bestselling novel (and now triology) that everyone is talking about -- to the exclusion of all else. The parody is written by Fanny Merkin, actually the pseudonym of Andrew Shaffer, who reviews romance, erotica, and women’s fiction for RT Book Reviews magazine. The audiobook edition is read by actress Allyson Ryan. Shaffer and Ryan discuss the pleasures and perils of parody, in this exclusive interview.
