Sometimes classic literature is cringey moms, unreliable narrators, and knickknacks.

On this episode, we discuss The Glass Menagerie's presence on required reading lists and give some recommendations for books that share similar themes or elements.

You can find extensive show notes on the Keep It Classic website. And we'd love for you to chat about all things lit with us over on social media at @keepitclassicpod!
