Today we are talking about The Wall by Austrian author Marlen Haushofer, published in the 1960s. In addition to the book, we also discuss how quickly we'd die in a similar situation due to our complete lack of survivalist skills.

I, Becca, have been going through a big life transition, and that is why this episode is so incredibly late. I will be okay though! It also kind of fits because Olga Tokarczuk's House of Day, House of Night, is all about transition and liminal spaces... more
Due to this being a weird year (Corinne had a baby!) instead of our usual wrap-up of the year's books, we decided to take a look at our historical Year in Reviews and talk about the books we remember, and the ones we don't.

Content warning straight off the top for this one! Both for the actual content, in which Becca recommends a terrible tv show and for the book, which is described as being erotic, and then also a big warning for us being disorganized and confused. We ... more

Juvenile and superficial discussion. ‘Weird to me’ is not a useful critical term.

It so fun to listen to your energetic, detailed!! opinions and experiences with a book!

Germany3 years ago - The heart is a lonely hunter
I wanted to drop a point that you may not have considered here—you talked about how you don’t understand Singer’s fixation on Antonopoulos, but his fixation on him totally mirrors all of the other characters’ fixation on Singer. They come to him to project all of their thoughts and feelings, never sure how much he understands but reassuring themselves that he understands all. Singer does the same thing to his friend. All of these lonely hearts make a god of Singer, and he in turn does this to An... more
Apple Podcasts4Christina1832United States3 years ago - Please include spoilers!
If you are announcing a book in advance the audience has time to read it or listen to the archived episode after they have read it. Not discussing the end of The Heart is a Lonely Hunter is so disappointing. Avoiding spoilers irritates the listener who spent 50+ mins anticipating a full discussion of the book.
