MBP 008 - Strong Poison


Listen Later

Check out the MBP on Strong Poison for background on Dorothy L Sayers, the theme of the expectations for male vs. female artists, and “insta-love.”

I talked about the unique structure of Strong Poison as well as the thread of character development and relationship growth that runs through Sayers’ work, something that’s quite different from other Golden Age novelists, such as Christie, who wrote essentially stand-alone books featuring the same character. Don’t get me wrong, I love Christie’s books, too—I’m only pointing out the difference. As always, I closed with a quote. 

Bookish news hit on how all of North America is now a Kindle Unlimited Zone as well as the discovery of a possible new Sherlock short story.
