July 19, 2021 10:00 - 1 hour - 62 MBThe House of the Spirits is a multi-generational, lightly-magical-realism-y Chilean novel that eventually ends up being about Piochet's military coup, but it's also about the importance of studying events over a long span of time to come to a deeper understanding of why things happen the way they do. Something we could all stand to do more of, honestly. Our theme music was composed by Nick Lerangis. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at ...
Ep 483 - Trainspotting, by Irvine Welsh
July 12, 2021 10:00 - 1 hour - 61 MBThis sensational punk novel from 1993 got attention because it depicts a LOT: drug use, sex, and all sorts of deviance in late 20th-century Edinburgh.

June 14, 2021 10:00 - 1 hour - 59.2 MBCelebrated author and essayist Ta-Nehisi Coates entered the world of fiction in 2019 with The Water Dancer. A combination of his appreciation for superheroes and his years spent researching the Antebellum South, it's a book that tries to marry critique of American history with supernatural adventure. It also argues pretty hard for the power of remembrance. Our theme music was composed by Nick Lerangis. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice a...

Ep 475 - Nancy Drew #1 - The Secret of the Old Clock, by Carolyn Keene
May 24, 2021 10:00 - 1 hour - 57.2 MBCarolyn Keene wasn't a real person, and we suspect that the Secret of the Old Clock might not actually meet the technical definition of a "mystery"?

Ep 474 - Gaudy Night, by Dorothy L. Sayers
May 17, 2021 10:00 - 1 hour - 57 MBIt's disorienting to read the tenth book in a longrunning detective fiction series without reading any of the books that came before, but Gaudy Night is noteworthy because its heroine Harriet Vane is a precursor to many many women found in today's mystery novels. Just come prepared for the romantic parts and the parts about English high society that all make it take longer to figure out who did the crimes. Our theme music was composed by Nick Lerangis.

May 10, 2021 10:00 - 1 hour - 59.3 MBTom Sawyer, a 19th-century amalgam of Zack Morris and Dennis the Menace, has much to teach us about the joys of boyhood and adventure in the pre-Civil War United States.
