  • Superb.

    I couldn’t ask for better discussion of all things Lord Peter. Mss Ellison and Chu do the kind of scholarly and psychological analysisI would have loved to do in grad school if I’d had the guts. Their insights are really great at opening up all kinds of aspects of the Wimsey canon that never occurred to me despite multiple rereadings. Please keep them coming!

  • Marvelous talks!

    These two delightful ladies feel like friends with whom I can have a meaty conversation about one of my favorite topics, the Dorothy L. Sayers books about Peter Wimsey. They love the same things I do and ask questions that point out fresh delights in books I have known and loved since the 1970s. They single out favorite moments and quotations that I, too, love. I chime right in as though they could hear me. Their piffle can save a very difficult day, as it has done again today. I can hardly wait... more

    I am just SO glad to hear you two again! Sayers is one of my absolute favorites and it is a joyous thing to listen to and learn from others who also greatly appreciate her as an author and a human. Thank you for your time and commitment! P.S. I love Gaudy Night and can’t wait for you to get there. Cheers!
