A Case For Classics

I need a little more time for the next two episodes, so please enjoy this Bonus Episode from my Patreon!

No particular case this week, as I wanted to talk about an Ancient Athenian playwright who wrote plays that are STILL being produced!

With hope for an end in sight, I thought it was time to finally talk about Giovanni Boccaccio's plague-set book, The Decameron.

This week we talk about Toni Morrison's Pulitzer Prize winning classic, Beloved. It's spoiler-lite, so please do your best to keep this book a surprise before you read it.

This week is a little something special, a little something different. It's a bonus episode from my Patreon account, which I'm shutting down, on Stephen King's Rose Madder. Enjoy!

Let's talk AMERICA and how it was portrayed, lovingly believe it or not, by Sinclair Lewis in his work Main Street.

He's a great poet for beginners and old hat poetry fans alike! This week, I make a case for a man who won FOUR Pulitzer Prizes for poetry, Robert Frost.

Listener request! I make a case for Erich Maria Remarque's WWI classic, All Quiet on the Western Front. I'm glad to have read this book.

This week we talk about the highly impactful, talented poet, Audre Lorde.

In honor of Black History Month, I wanted to highlight two Black American creators of classical works. First is James Baldwin and his work, The Fire Next Time.
