55 - Come on in and join us for our first happy hour chatting about The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson and our first happy hour without our dear Mariana who is officially on a maternity break. We drown our sorrows with a Behind Blue Eyes as we chat about the blue eyes of our two protagonists: Daniel H. Burnham, the ambitious visionary behind the 1893 Chicago World's Fair, and H.H. Holmes, the devilish yet charming young doctor who simultaneously stalks Chicago for prey. We chat about our culture's fixation with murder and serial killers, architecture and favorite buildings, and the customized room we'd want in our homes a la Holmes' creepy customized basement.
Pages Discussed: 1-99 (Aboard the Olympic - The Landscape of Regret)
Next Week: 100-197 (Vanishing Point - The Cold-Blooded Fact)
Join us again for Happy Hour next Thursday, and follow us on Insta @AreTheseBooksDrunk for updates on our next episode & cocktail pairing so that you can read along and sip along with us!
