Listen Later

Welcome back to "Extra Literary Affairs", a LitFiction Podcast. 

In this series, we will dive deeper into specific themes and topics that we can't fully explore in our main show. It’s a space for us to unleash our creativity and discuss our ideas in more detail. Think of this as a companion to our main podcast—just don't tell them about us, no need to make them jealous!

 

This week, Joey is exploring themes within "The Bloody Chamber" by Angela Carter.  Get ready to deep dive into liminal space, the initiations of women, parallels with the Biblical representation of Eve, and the symbolism of the lily.
