Episode 57b - Through the Looking Glass
Two friends and academics recap classic literature and take it off its pedestal. In the second part of our fifty-seventh episode, we recap Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass (1871) and discuss rare spatial reasoning issues, Abby's peasant background (which includes tunnel-corn), famous egg-men, and if a single move in chess is measured in speed or mobility.
Cover art © Catherine Wu.
Episode Theme: Camille Saint-Saens, The Carnival of the Animals, '10 Voliere', played backwards.
