    F***bois of Literature Book Podcast

    • FBOL is now on Patreon! Subscribe: http://www.patreon.com/msemilyedwards • The podcast about the most groan-worthy, enraging, and sh*t characters in lit. Join host Emily Edwards and a guest for a weekly “book club” discussion on every book you wanted to destroy in English class, but couldn’t. Classic literature of Europe and the Americas– everything from mythology to Victorian epics to the modernists– is hard to get through, and each week, we take on a frequently assigned book to talk about all of its highs and lows. These are the Fuckbois of Literature.


    Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    19: Lonesome Dove - Lynne & Leslie of Fine Beats & Cheeses Jul 09, 2025
    Show notes

    When I was a little kid, my dad's favorite song was Roy Rogers & Dale Evans's "Happy Trails." Here are the first few verses:


    Happy trails to you, until we meet again

    Happy trails to you, keep smilin' until then

    Who cares about the clouds when we're together?

    Just sing a song and bring the sunny weather


    Happy trails to you, 'till we meet again

    Some trails are happy ones

    Others are blue

    It's the way you ride the trail that counts

    Here's a happy one for you.


    So, I suppose it's fitting that FBOL ends (for now? maybe?) while talking about one of America's great Westerns, Larry McMurtry's LONESOME DOVE. Everything is in this book, partially because it's over 900 pages long, and partially because so much of America stopped progressing in the 1870s. This book is everything, and it is wonderful.


    I decided not to cut it down into two episodes, but I understand that two hours of book talk is a lot. I hope you all get as much out of it as I did recording it with Lynne & Leslie.

    17: The Devil Wears Prada - Dr. Daniel Kasper (Part 2) Jun 25, 2025
    Show notes

    Dr. Daniel Kasper (@ghostingdani over on Bluesky!) is back in a very short turn around to discuss Faustian bargains, fashion, and Bush-era expectations in this FIRST installment of our long (long) conversation about THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA. He manages to bring it back to Shirley Jackson rather eloquently in this episode!

    Throwback: Jaws- Amanda Smith Jun 20, 2025
    Show notes

    If you're familiar with the movie, it means you probably know NOTHING about the book. JAWS by Peter Benchley is an absolute classic, a multi-million dollar earning blockbuster book turned movie that just about MADE Steven Spielberg. But what's up with the novel? Just some of your classic summertime, monster-movie beach read type stuff like mafia-led real estate fraud, class politics, and dead sheep.

    15: Assassination Vacation - Martha Smith Jun 11, 2025
    Show notes

    The incomparable Martha Smith (@MostlyMartha on Bluesky) is here to discuss Sarah Vowell's "creative nonfiction" juggernaut ASSASSINATION VACATION. Released 20 years ago this year, the novel-length personal essay on Vowell's own ruminations on murder, death, and the American dream is really hitting... well, not differently, but exactly the same as when we first read it in 2005.

    13: Laura - Kristen Lopez of Ticklish Business May 28, 2025
    Show notes

    Vera Caspary's LAURA was translated to screen for the first time in the heyday of the Hayes Code and classic film. So how does one capture the essence of a novel about a career girl coveted by three very different men, only to meet her grisly fate at the hand of one of her jealous suitors? By hiring Vincent Price, of course!


    Kristen is the main host of the podcast Ticklish Business ( http://ticklishbusiness.podbean.com ) , which I joined as a co-host a short time ago. Be sure to listen to Ticklish Biz wherever you get your podcasts.

    11: The Neverending Story (Part 2) - Narrator Chael May 14, 2025
    Show notes

    My friend Chael (@NarratorChael) is back to discuss one of her favorite books from her tweenage years: Michael Ende's THE NEVERENDING STORY. Written by a man whose artist father was literally persecuted for being degenerate by the Nazis, THE NEVERENDING STORY is a beautiful consideration on depression and passion and what it means to be a child in a world that really seems to hate children.

    The second hour of our show will be dropping next week!

    Chael's other work includes the podcasts Once Upon a Rewatch (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/once-upon-a-rewatch/id1553803675) and Vampires Ruined My Life (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/vampires-ruined-my-life/id1584585139).
