Lets Talk About "50 Shades of Grey"

Summer is a time dedicated to spending days outside, and what better way to enjoy the pool or the beach than with a page-turner in hand? One of the pop-culture phenomena of the summer was the erotic novel "Fifty Shades of Grey." The book has topped best-seller charts and become pop-culture sensation, but not without criticism.

Hoping to break away from the taboo, hush-hush nature on campus surrounding this particular work of literature, The Observer brought in Assistant Managing Editor Sam Stryker and Scene Writer Suzanna Pratt to have what might be the first open, public and civil conversation about "Fifty Shades" in Notre Dame history. Now, let's chat.
