The Secret History: ft. The Penumbra Podcast

Om avsnittet

This week Aysha and Jacob face down the twin horrors of Dionysian madness and class anxiety with Donna Tartt’s brilliant 1992 work of literary fiction/inverted mystery, “The Secret History.”

We are joined by Kevin Vibert and Harley Takagi Kaner of “The Penumbra Podcast.” In the opinion of the Workers’ Lit team these two are among the greatest audio dramatists literally of all time…so yeah, they’re quite qualified to talk about some bomb-ass fiction.

Themes: Closeted bisexual angst, middle class angst, academic angst, and hiding-a-murder angst.

Go listen to the Penumbra Podcast!
