Michael and Ethan, with special guests Lydia and Christina (aka Stiners), discuss their (somewhat slimmer than usual) Mondo Book for the year: Persuasion, by Jane Austen.
In this episode:
Our intern wrote us this very thorough, very thoughtful, and overall excellent discussion guide
A sort of Damocles
True gnosis will lead you to a binary choice
Christina’s Walter Elliot thoughts
Captain Wentworth: a hot blank canvas
Lydia would maybe have to bully Wentworth
There aren’t any examples of persuasion in this book other than like 75 examples
Jane Austen: Unionize! (because it’s about marriage but also class solidarity)
We will be producing “Persuasion but it’s the Blair Witch Project” soon
Coming soon: Lydia’s Ramblings (maybe)
