One of America’s greatest authors is Edith Wharton, the first female-winner of the Pulitzer Prize. Barry and Aaron discuss her life and one of her most famous books, Ethan Frome.

Please, please, please: read this book (it’s barely 100 pages!) before you listen to this episode. Really, we mean it. You’ll thank us. Trust us.

When you are ready, listen to this episode and listen in as Barry and Aaron discuss whether we should agree with naturalist writers like Wharton--that we at the whim of an uncaring universe or whether we have the ability to pursue moral decisions that can change our circumstances.

It’s an important and engaging conversation. Enjoy!
