Season two of Island Idylls ends with a bang: one of history’s greatest novels, Anna Karenina. It has everything: marriage, adultery, tragedy, and an anguished search for the meaning of life.

Barry and Aaron debate everything from the reality of Anna’s choices to the significance of Levin’s leap of faith. What is religion? What is happiness? Why does any of it matter? Good literature is a launching pad to good conversations and Anna Karenina does not disappoint.
