This week on Getting Literate, your fave book club goes back to Ancient Greece for a retelling of the Odyssey from Penelope's (his wife's) point of view. Katie and Julia drink at every mention of a man, every mention of the chorus, and Julia breaks into song at multiple points. Julia has a love/hate relationship with this envisioning of reincarnation, and Katie thinks it's time we unpack internalized misogyny. PLUS: ducks, anthropology, and how to read aloud like a pretentious bitch.
This week's book was The Penelopiad, by Margaret Atwood. More info at http://margaretatwood.ca/
Intro and outro music by Julia M.
This week's drink was a Pomegranate Gin Sling. Follow us on social media for drink recipes and more opportunities to Get Lit, and Get Literate.
