Listen Later

The Kreutzer Sonata, is a small work of fiction by Leo Tolstoy that explores the philosophical ideals of marriage, sex, family and jealousy. In this novel, a man tells a bunch of strangers on a train about how he ended up killing his wife, and got away with it. 

In the telling of the tale, the man and the strangers, debates the ideas that surround love and how some expected beliefs and actions with a spouse as viewed by society have been looked at wrong all along. In more than one example, we're thrown into the middle of a debate about what love is and why that should lead to marriage. 

Listen along as we discuss what we really liked about this novel and what we did not!
