This week on Getting Literate, Katie and Julia soar into Cloud Cuckoo Land by Anthony Doerr. The gals discuss sex in space, plagues and pandemics, and the unsupervised nature of the early internet. Katie sounds off on the use of sound and the oral tradition, and Julia reflects on the impact of translations on how we understand stories. PLUS: Hendrick’s gin, Sappho memes, and microwaving fish sticks. As always, there's definitely spoilers, so proceed with caution.
