Men Are Sad: Russo, Franzen, & Whitehead
Ian and Page, your two favorite store-brand English professors, have put together a syllabus for reading our way to an understanding of the 21st Century.
This episode, we're talking about the big awards books of 2001, but first, we discuss the Pulitzer drama of 2025. We get into generational trauma, the right wing "they're coming to get you" conspiracy, how sad men are, and influencer culture and the monetization of hobbies. You know, light stuff!
