--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/reallycultured/messageDISCLAIMER: This episode discusses topics that may not be suitable for all audiences. Battle Royale's story depicts extreme violence, sexual abuse, and other heinous crimes. Listener discretion is advised.
Although it took some time for its popularity to spread due to its outrageous plot, Battle Royale is a novel that has gone on to not only inspire artists to create various renditions of it, but sparked a new genre.
There are so many pieces of literature that have gone on to impact our culture in more ways than one. L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz has inspired so many films, television shows, musicals, and other books that we simply must talk about it.
