I forgot how silly we were in this one...
Michael and Ethan, with special guests Erin and Risha of Vampires and Mermaids, inaugurate their discussion of their (somewhat slimmer than usual) Mondo Book for the year: Persuasion, by Jane Austen.
In this episode:
What an excellent rule (sorry, Risha)
An unpopular opinion that captures several important things
Austen as a writer who maybe should be listened to at least as much as read?
Reading novels was basically the 19th-century version of Gameboy
JANE DID A CLIFFHANGER
Is Persuasion unfilmable?
VERY EXCITING DICTION DISCUSSION
Jane Austen: all sarcasm all the time?
The Keira Knightley one, the one with the Dashwood Sisters, the one with the name we can’t say…
One very simple blockage: the miscommunication trope
The blockage is always the title of the book
