The Re-re-read: Craft Talks on Classic Literature
A fiction writer and recovering academic seeks craft lessons in classic literature. All works are in the public domain and available on https://www.gutenberg.org. The talks are 5-10 minutes, perfect for today's on-the-go author. Earlier and even more pedantic versions of these talks are available on my blog, swerveandvanish.blogspot.com.
The podcast is currently on hiatus, but please enjoy the archived episodes!

Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this short craft talk, we learn why it's sometimes good to have your characters do senseless things--especially if your book is about human senselessness.
