14: The Little Match Girl Dec 06, 2023

Show notes

Happy Holidays, Attic Wives. We're back from an extended hiatus to bring you some Christmas lit that's sure to leave you... well, not really merry, but certainly happy it's no longer 1840.

Vel, our guest from our episode on DIE HARD, PYGMALION, and CALL ME BY YOUR NAME is back to discuss Hans Christian Andersen's "Little Match Girl," which is a holiday classic that leaves one feeling unmoored, heartbroken, and desperately sad.

You can follow Vel on social media at @WhiskeyAndSpite (Twitter, Instagram).

13: Bridgerton - Carly Lane Jul 19, 2023

Show notes

Carly Lane (@CarlyLane) is here to discuss the juggernaut that is BRIDGERTON, regency, and romance. We hypothesize about why English majors like romance so much, the rapidity of time, and why there are so many sub-grenres to Romance novels.

8: PRIDE 2023:: The Talented Mr. Ripley - Danny Bowes [Rerun] Jun 16, 2023

Show notes

Link to a review of a biography of Patricia Highsmith: https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/highsmith-was-a-troll-on-richard-bradfords-devils-lusts-and-strange-desires/

For Pride 2023, we're re-posting some of our favorite episodes about Queer books.

As it turns out, Patricia Highsmith was another one of those common birds, a midcentury writer of the antisemite variety, whose advanced-level bigotries really don’t come come up in the same breath as the praises heaped upon her, and they should. She was shitty. But THE TALENTED MR RIPLEY is a fantastic novel, colored by Highsmith's own hatreds, and her ultimate goals.

Follow our guest Danny Bowes on Twitter @ByBowes

SUMMARY

Tom Ripley is hounded by a rich Richard Greenleaf Sr. to go to Italy and retrieve his son, Dickie Greenleaf, and bring him back to America for his mother's impending death. Once Tom finds Dickie, he murders the heir and takes on his identity, while avoiding capture in post-WWII Italy.

Show notes

Our guest from our episode on CATS and THE WIZARD OF OZ, Abby @ClapIfYouLikeMe, is back to discuss the quintessential coming-of-age book for AFAB people, Judy Blume's 1970 classic Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret. We discuss bodies and puberty and faith and gay priests in this episode.

And for the record, AO3 only has one fic based on the book, and it's kind of amazing: https://archiveofourown.org/works/11853729
