Playwright and author Claire Willett (@ClaireWillett) joins host Emily Edwards (@MsEmilyEdwards) to discuss one of the English language's most popular books– Daphne du Maurier's REBECCA. Since its first publication in 1938, REBECCA has never gone out of print, proving Maxim de Winter, the Second Mrs. de Winter, Mrs. Danvers, and almost every other character in the entire novel to be some of literature's most enduring fuckbois. We take on the text as the emblematic novel of the push-pull of heteronormative patriarchy, discuss the essential factors or race and class, and also ruminate on REBECCA as a queer text, thanks to some new details neither reader knew before recording! This is Fuckbois of Literature. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/fuckboisoflit/message
Lisa Gabriele chats to Dani Vee about her gripping psychological thriller, The Winters, a response to Daphne du Maurier's classic Rebecca. We chat about gothic fiction, echoing texts from the past, feminist perspectives, the impact of social media and growing up in the 80s. We also chat about the other Dani, the one in the novel, a brilliant complex teenage character and new addition to this timeless classic.

I like books about books so much that I have a whole shelf on my good reads called books about books about books. I look forward to reading your recommendations for it but I wanted to put my hat in the ring. So in that vein: The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society The Eyre Affair (and really the whole Thursday Next Series) Mister Pip If on a Winters Night a Traveler Cloud Atlas Love the podcast! Best, Miranda 2. Dear Jen and Amanda, I wrote to you a few months ago for book recs to help with my recent break up and boy did you deliver the goods! You helped me out of a sad time and reading slump, and made me push through. I've decided to go travelling through Europe alone (but armed with my kindle) and would love some recommendations on solo travel from a female perspective/women taking over the universe/generally fierce women to accompany me through my travels. Thanks for being two bad ass women and keeping me company throughout my tumultuous but exciting year. Love, Ron 3. Hi Ladies, I love it when houses are characters in books. Some personal favorites are Jane Eyre, du Maurier's Rebecca and The Likeness by Tana French. I've also loved We Have Always Lived in the Castle and The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson as well as The Woman in Black by Susan Hill. Could you recommend some great books that feature houses as characters? Happy to read any genre. Bonus points if it's haunted! Best, Kristi 4. Hi! I am getting ready to travel to Antarctica in early November and would love some recommendations for books to read either before I go or while I'm there. I've read "Where'd You Go, Bernadette" by Maria Semple and am about to start "Endurance" by Alfred Lansing. I like to go into an adventure with a good historical and scientific background, so I'm open to pretty much anything (fiction or non-fiction) that will get me excited for what I'm about to see and experience! Thank you! Sydney 5. Hi! Hispanic Heritage month (Sept 15-Oct 15) has me wanting to tap into my Mexican-American roots. I want to fill in the gaps of my knowledge. Especially in this political climate that tries to vilify these communities. Can you recommend any nonfiction about Central and South America to tap into the complex history and culture. Bonus points if available on audio.
The castaway in Desert Island Discs this week is one of the country's best-known novelists. Author of I'm the King of the Castle, Strange Meeting and The Woman in Black, among many other books, Susan Hill will be talking to Sue Lawley about the inspiration for her recent and highly-acclaimed sequel to Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca; about the loneliness which characterised her childhood and about the relationship between tragedy in her own life and the way she writes about it in her novels.
