Let's harken back to our first ever season in 2019 to re-listen to our episode on CALL ME BY YOUR NAME by André Aciman....

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 
SUMMARYTom 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.

If you’re a longtime listener, you know by now that I don’t pick the books we do every episode, the guest does. Mostly that’s so the onus of reading or rereading fresh for the recording session is on me; people normally choose books they love or have recently finished in order to not have to read 400 pages of Victorian Sadness again and again. And I admit, I have rarely said no to a book that someone chose to discuss.




But I almost said no to this one. I hadn’t read it since college, I didn’t get it, I was too uncomfortable. But I should’ve known that my guest wouldn’t lead me astray. You all are in for a phenomenal episode.

SUMMARY



Humbert Humbert, a college professor, moves to suburban New Hampshire and rooms with widow, Charlotte Haze, and her daughter, Delores, whom she calls Lolita. Humbert becomes obsessed with the 12 year old daughter, and capitalizes on Charlotte's death to kidnap Lolita and abscond with her for years while he molests her. Humbert goes off the rails when Lolita flees to the arms of a pornographer, Clare Quilty, and then her subsequent husband. ]]>tag:audioboom.com,2021-08-12:/posts/7923319Wed, 21 Jul 2021 22:48:00 +0000Emily Edwards• Follow FBOL on Twitter: twitter.com/fuckboisoflit If you’re a longtime listener, you know by now that I don’t pick the books we do every episode, the guest does.

Humbert Humbert, a college professor, moves to suburban New Hampshire and rooms with widow, Charlotte Haze, and her daughter, Delores, whom she calls Lolita. Humbert becomes obsessed with the 12 year old daughter, and capitalizes on Charlotte's death to kidnap Lolita and abscond with her for years while he molests her. Humbert goes off the rails when Lolita flees to the arms of a pornographer, Clare Quilty, and then her subsequent husband. ]]>3263cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/user/11205385/14-a-streetcar-named-desire-part-1-marci
