Two-Person Book Club

4 - THE MANSION OF HAPPINESS by Jill Lepore


Listen Later

Amanda B. and Rony J. follow Harvard professor and professional NEW YORKER-er Jill Lepore through birth, adolescence, work, and death, via a Puritan board game called THE MANSION OF HAPPINESS. Amanda antagonizes a (maybe) dead man, while Rony comes face to face with a giant conundrum.

"Impure thought!" the child ejaculated. "Go back three spaces!"

We joke because otherwise we'd remember that women didn't get the vote until 1920.

Who has the movie rights to the Anne Carroll Moore vs. Katharine White story?
