    In this episode I sit down with Cassie Williams and discuss the book Through The Looking Glass by master lyricist and possible (likely?) child predator Lewis Carroll. This is a deep dive into language, social conditioning, lucid dreaming and the experience of childhood. I know that all sounds serious but I promise this episode is a galumphing chortle-fest that will not disappoint. If you'd like to comment on the episode or get in touch with me you can find me on Instagram and Twitter at @ajamesrichard and I really hope y'all enjoy this episode.

    Tessa and I discuss the classic novel 'Tess of the D'Urbervilles' by Thomas Hardy. This novel touches on class, gender and religious issues and provides us with this timeless piece of advice: stab your rapist.

    Is Lolita more than just a classic tale of a child rapist? Is it, at its core, just a novel about the Great American Road Trip? One thing we can tell for sure, Humbert Humbert was a real asshole. Enjoy this conversation with my good friend Tess about Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov.
