    YOU DREAMED OF EMPIRES by Álvaro Enrigue >> Want an even deeper understanding of this complex, hilarious, dark, unique novel?? Tune in! Mar 03, 2026
    Show notes

    People! Enrigue's new novel NOW I SURRENDER comes out today in English. Before you dive into that one, brush up on all the ways the man is a genius. This exploration of YOU DREAMED OF EMPIRES will give you a deeper understanding of the title, the unique narrative stance, why the book feels so dreamy, the humor and whether or not we can read this as a FEMINIST novel.

    OFFSHORE by Penelope Fitzgerald >> This book makes you wonder why we ever read anyone else. Ever. Feb 27, 2026
    Show notes

    Much is made of this insanely great novel(la)'s economy but it's the RICHNESS that draws me back again and again and again. Everything is so perfectly dark and smart and hilarious and poignant. We dive in (no pun intended) to the unique narrative stance, the richness of her characterization and her masterful employment of figurative language. This book is SO GOOD.

    DON'T BUY IT!! Feb 23, 2026

    AUNT JULIA AND THE SCRIPTWRITER by Mario Vargas Llosa Feb 20, 2026
    Show notes

    Leave it to a Nobel Prize winner to turn out a book that is so charming, rich, funny, complex and sophisticated. I love this novel so much. Listen in to hear how this potent mix of melodrama, fiction and memoir keeps me returning to it over and over.

    "THE ALEPH" by Jorge Luis Borges >> Why has it taken so long for us to dive (back) into Borges? Listen in to find out! Feb 15, 2026
    Show notes

    Finally, we tackle this GIANT of South American Literature. "The Aleph" is smart (obviously) but also self-deprecating, ultra-rich and HILARIOUS. The man's a genius. The story is genius. Indulge now and feel--in just 80 minutes--a little smarter.

    NANCY DREW as Cultural Phenomenon! >> Did you know they radically rewrote the Nancy Drew books 20 years after publication? What it says about us is fascinating. Feb 10, 2026
    Show notes

    NO READING REQUIRED!

    "1950s Nancy was a Barbie. But 1930s Nancy was a single, friendless BITCH." (Bitch in the very BEST kind of way.)

    This line from The Bookstore (now playing off Broadway) opens a fascinating--and somewhat damning--window onto American culture. But the best part of revisiting these books is how GOOD they are. Listen in to hear what most of us missed about these iconic bestsellers.

    WUTHERING HEIGHTS by Emily Brontë >> I have something to confess about this one. Listen in. Feb 06, 2026
    Show notes

    Emerald Fennel's new movie version of Wuthering Heights (and my SON'S OFF-BROADWAY DEBUT) sent me right back to the novel and WOW is there a lot to say about this book. Allow me to break down whether it's a love story or all about revenge, why there's no sex, what the narrative stance has to do with the gothic, and SO MUCH MORE.

    THE CORRESPONDENT by Virginia Evans >> This gem of a runaway best seller seems straightforward but I'll tell you what: Evans is pulling off a FEAT. Feb 02, 2026
    Show notes

    I have never loved an epistolary novel (a novel in letters). But at every turn Evans avoided the pitfalls. Not only that, but The Correspondent ends up being a rich, moving read. Tune in to find out how she pulls it off, what made me put it down--only to pick it right back up--and why this work deserves a closer look.

    DISCONTENT by Beatriz Serrano >> If you loved this book, maybe don't listen to the last twenty minutes of this. Jan 29, 2026
    Show notes

    DISCONTENT started with such potential that my very high expectations were somewhat dashed. Serrano starts so strong: she paints the work place, interrogates the internet, incorporates visual art, promotes the concept of the chosen family and more. But much hinged on the ending and for me, it didn't deliver. Listen to see what's working really well and what isn't. Discontent really helps you see why pulling off a strong novel is REALLY HARD TO DO.

    HANGSAMAN by Shirley Jackson >> HOW HAD I NEVER READ THIS BOOK?? Jan 23, 2026
    Show notes

    Actually, probably, I'd never read it because I was scarred by "The Lottery" in grade school. I should NOT have been afraid. Hangsaman is incredible! It also has some verrrrry confusing elements that deserve the deepest of analysis. Listen in for exactly that. What a masterpiece!
