In today’s episode, the CenterForLit crew tackles the next question in our series of conversations about the Great Questions of art and literature. This time we’re asking, “What is a good life?” Nobody wants to come to the end of their life and feel it has been wasted. But how can we be sure we’ll be satisfied? We look for answers in all kinds of places as we meditate on the significance of this question.
