May 26, 2025Trust No One: Our Top Unreliable-Narrator Reads
Bold authors have been lying to their readers for years and somehow, we love every moment of it.
The unreliable narrator is a tricky narrative device for authors to handle, but when it’s used well, the results speak for themselves.

Books mentioned in this episode:
Lolita — Vladimir Nabokov
Life of Pi — Yann Martel
The Turn of the Screw — Henry James
Frogs for Watchdogs — Seán Farrell
The Wasp Factory — Iain Banks
Gone Girl — Gillian Flynn
The Girl on the Train — Paula Hawkins
Pimp: The Story of My Life — Iceberg Slim (Robert Beck)
Atonement — Ian McEwan

May 23, 2025Our 8 favorite teachings from The Prophet by Kahlil Jibran
Kahlil Gibran’s The Prophet has been quoted at weddings, funerals, and spiritual retreats for over a century, but how does it hold up for today’s reader? Jacob Shymanski and Aamer Khan explore eight chapters from the 1923 classic that leave the two of them equally inspired and frustrated. From Gibran’s philosophy on talking, to the lofty paradoxes of freedom and beauty, his poetic language may be confusing more than clarifying the universal truths.

May 21, 2025Inside the Vatican’s Walls: A Review of Conclave by Robert Harris
118 cardinals, one locked room, one global secret. Karoline Bordeau helps us review Conclave by Robert Harris, a suspenseful insider imagining of a modern papal election. It’s church drama with the pacing of a thriller, steeped in political play, and you may be surprised with how much intrigue the clergy can stir up.

May 05, 2025Crime, Fiction, and the Ethics of Storytelling
When novelists borrow from real horror… Red Széll joins us to trace the tangled line between actual crime and literary fiction. From 19th-century murder pamphlets to modern thrillers like Sadie and A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, does storytelling serve truth better when it breaks free from fact? We reflect on the allure, and the ethical dilemmas, of turning tragedy into story.
