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!

Season 1
In this week's short craft talk, we begin a new series on Joseph Conrad's The Secret Agent. This compact but deeply disturbing novel oozes evil, and Conrad makes sure we get a good look at all of it right from the start--by literally ringing a bell to set the awfulness in motion.
