April 29, 2021 Nudie Reads Not By The Book [S1E30]
Edmond Hoyle wrote the book. The book of the rules of card games. And chess and backgammon. But his work was immediately pirated by cheeky 18th century printers. At least the pirates wrote some good copy to attract readers to their dodgy publication. ♠️♥️♣️♦️

April 18, 2021 Nudie Reads The King Kong of Pulp Fiction [S1E27]
Edgar Wallace, from Kent in England, was such a prolific writer of detective thriller pulp fiction it got him published in Italy and given the sweet job of developing the 1933 King Kong movie. He earned his writing chops as a war correspondent and was beloved of readers all over the world. His writing philosophy seemed to be 'grab 'em by the throat and keep 'em guessing'. Prepare to be thrilled. 🦍 💛

April 08, 2021 Nudie Reads A Song Can Never Be A Poem (Except When It Is) [S1E24]

April 04, 2021 Nudie Reads The Hunchback of Westminster [S1E23]
There's more than 1 hunchback in the literary canon. The Hunchback of Notre Dame is the best loved, of course, by Victor Hugo. And Rigoletto, the hunchback court jester of Verdi's opera of the same name is also well known and loved. But do you know of The Hunchback of Westminster, Peter Zouche? He is the fabulous creation of William Le Queux: the father of the blockbuster mystery-spy-thriller-espionage-edge-of-your-seat-thrills literary form.
