Through The Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll
December 12, 2019 21:58 - 54 minutes - 124 MBIn this episode I sit down with Cassie Williams and discuss the book Through The Looking Glass by master lyricist and possible (likely?) child predator Lewis Carroll. This is a deep dive into language, social conditioning, lucid dreaming and the experience of childhood. I know that all sounds serious but I promise this episode is a galumphing chortle-fest that will not disappoint.

The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion
November 21, 2019 22:06 - 40 minutes - 37.2 MBIn this episode I sit down with my Mom and we discuss one of her favorite books, The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion. Our conversation, like the book, focuses on grief, how we process it and the tricky things that it does to us. If you want to reach out, suggest a book or comment on the episode you can find me online at @ajamesrichard on Instagram and Twitter. I really hope you enjoy this conversation, it was a fun episode to record.
Tess of the D'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy
November 08, 2019 21:28 - 1 hour - 171 MBTessa and I discuss the classic novel 'Tess of the D'Urbervilles' by Thomas Hardy. This novel touches on class, gender and religious issues and provides us with this timeless piece of advice: stab your rapist. You can find me on instagram and twitter at @itsdirvonnegut if you'd like to suggest a book, or just yell at me. Enjoy!
Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
October 17, 2019 18:00 - 47 minutes - 109 MBIs Lolita more than just a classic tale of a child rapist? Is it, at its core, just a novel about the Great American Road Trip? One thing we can tell for sure, Humbert Humbert was a real asshole. Enjoy this conversation with my good friend Tess about Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov.
