    Ep 29 - The Bell Jar
    Mar 15 2021

    TRIGGER WARNING: This episode contains discussions of suicide.

    What do UN interpreters, tuberculosis, and turkey necks have to do with dating? Ask Esther. Our main character in the novel The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath navigates her world while struggling with depression and it is sometimes funny, sometimes suffocating, sometimes nothing - all, real. This semi-autobiographical novel is a classic for a reason. Sylvia Plath writes with nuance.

    Ep 28 - Kindred
    Feb 15 2021

    Happy Black History Month! And we got Octavia Butler. That's right, in this time-traveling quinkydink, we jump from 2021 back to 1976...and 1815! The novel Kindred connects two ancestors across generations, plus or minus an arm.
    Continuing our year of women and writers who are POC, enjoy! You might just learn a thing or two about a redhead.
