Lightning never strikes twice, except when all of time is happening all at once in the valleys of California. Literary fiction meets pop culture nostalgia as we cross over Steinbeck’s East of Eden with Michael J. Fox’s Back to the Future. Join us for a conversation about trying to escape your family’s legacy, the sexuality of moms, brain-eating Christmas trees (as Annie forgets her anniversary and Walt fails to land a Hamilton joke), and literary uses for Yakety Sax.
