"My name is Edmond Dantes. You've ruined my life. Prepare to die." --The Count of Monte Cristo, basically

We're exploring Alexandre Dumas's The Count of Monte Cristo!  We'll summarize, give you  a background breakdown, and discuss some big ideas! Then, of course, we'll get judgy. Will we keep it classic? Or will we trash it?

You can find extensive show notes on the Keep It Classic website. And we'd love for you to chat about all things lit with us over on social media at @keepitclassicpod!
