  Travels with Washington Irving

  Aug 11, 202623 minS2

  Step back into the bustling, competitive literary world of 19th-century London with this double-feature reading from Washington Irving's classic collection, Tales of a Traveller . Through the sharp, witty chapters "Literary Life" and "A Literary Dinner," Irving pulls back the curtain on the old publishing scene to reveal how companies used to wine and dine authors to win their favors. We also kick off the episode with a beautiful, vintage biographical look at Irving's life, written by 19th-century author Faye Huntington in her book Stories of Great Men . It is a fascinating, humorous reminder that while technology changes, the ultimate hustle of the writing industry remains completely timeless. Send us Fan Mail Support the show Thanks for listening!

  Aug 4, 202622 minS2

  This is final chapter of our journey through Sinclair Lewis’s sharp, satirical short story, Things . We are narrating the final two parts: Seven and Eight. If you missed the build-up to this finale, jump back to our last episode to catch Theo Duke’s story from the beginning before diving into the conclusion. When we last left Theo, her quiet desperation was turning into an all-consuming resentment. Today, the twin burdens of social conformity and physical possessions press down harder than ever. The invisible walls of societal expectations close in, built entirely from a mountain of possessions. Theo is boxed in by social rules and drowned in a sea of unnecessary stuff. Today, we finally see if she can break free from this material cage, or if she will be buried alive by the very lifestyle she fought so hard to build.

  Episode #29

  Things by Sinclair Lewis - Part 1

  Jul 21, 202637 minS2

  In this episode we begin a special three-part journey into the sharp, brilliant mind of Sinclair Lewis—the first American author to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. Before he shook the literary world with his grand novels, Lewis penned a quieter, deeply piercing masterpiece for The Saturday Evening Post in 1919. Simply titled "Things," this atmospheric story explores a timeless truth: what happens to the human heart when the items we own begin to own us instead? In this first episode, we step into sections I, II, and III and follow a family from their humble, adventurous beginnings near the wild shores of Lake Superior to the exact moment an immense fortune changes everything—dropping them headfirst into a world of drawing rooms, needless china, and social expectations. Turn the lights down low, pour a fresh cup of tea, and join us for a theatrical, fireside look at the early days of a gilded cage. Send us Fan Mail Narrated Archives Bonus Episodes are now free.
