Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from troubled dreams to discover that he had been transformed in his bed into #Content. 
Part one of two! It's Kafka! It's the Metamorphosis! It's beloved friend of the show William Albritton, learning about the trials and tribulations of A Bug's Life. Join us as we dive into the flesh and bones (exoskeleton?) of this classic work, and come back next week as we try to figure out what it all means.

It's "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas," and the ones who post about it! We're talking about Ursula K. Le Guin's immortal short story and its enduring appeal as a source of Takes, both good and bad.

We continue our brief and torrid love affair with Christopher Marlowe in part two! Here you'll find us digging into Elizabethan queerness, the Trouble with Theocracies, and the eternal question of our own mortality. Plus, Grace recommends a historical fiction novel that lovers of queerness, theater, and oldey-timey intrigue should not miss!!

**Quick note: I got my Catholic power struggles a little muddled talking about popes and anti-popes and the reformation, so don't cite me in your history papers, lol. Suffice it to say that there was a lot going on!**

Faustian bargains! Heresy! Suppressed queerness in Elizabethan England! Marlowe and his timeless tragedy, Doctor Faustus, have it all! Join us this week as we dive in and get to the root of whether it's actually worth selling your soul for wealth and fame. As if we're not all kind of doing that already.
XOXO
