Getting Whimsical with Straw House

This week on Getting Literate, Katie and Julia are on their THIRD novella, Straw House, from Daniel Nayeri’s collection Straw House, Wood House, Brick House, Blow! The gals discuss whimsical Westerns, the significance of tractors, and magical realism. Julia despises the protagonist, and Katie sounds like she’s recovering from a head cold (cause she is). PLUS: Ariana Grande, Sam Elliot, and Trixie Mattel. As always, there's definitely spoilers, so proceed with caution.

Apologies for issues with our audio on this one — we’re trying our hardest and if you have a problem we would love to pay you to do it for us.
