In this special episode, I am joined by my good friend Marta, who traveled all the way from Latvia to help me dissect the dark, obsessive world of Donna Tartt’s The Secret History.
We’re stepping onto the snowy, elite campus of Hampden College to explore the lives of six Ancient Greek students who took their studies a little too literally. From the 'divine madness' of a ritual gone wrong in the Vermont woods to the cold-blooded murder of one of their own, we’re breaking down the 'why-dunnit' of the century.
Grab a glass of grappa (or just a coffee), put on your favorite wool coat, and join us as we explore why this 30-year-old 'Secret History' is still haunting us today.
