Getting Blown Away by Blow

This week on Getting Literate, Katie and Julia delve into the novella Blow by Daniel Nayeri, one of four in his collection Straw House, Wood House, Brick House, Blow. The gals discuss Frat Boy Farquad, Death being a real creep, and walking that line between comedy and poetry. Julia draws parallels between the mixing of fairy-tales and America’s melting pot, while Katie is wondering why Western pop culture is obsessed with Death and Love. PLUS: Emily Dickinson, Austin Powers, and the feminine urge to write poetry in the notes app. As always, there's definitely spoilers, so proceed with caution.
