In this episode, Jess revisits Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s The Little Prince—a deceptively simple children’s story about imagination, loneliness, love, grief, and the peculiar little prisons adults build for themselves.
We’ll consider what the prince learns from his rose and the fox, how Saint-Exupéry’s turbulent marriage and dangerous life as an aviator may have shaped the story—and whether the Little Prince was ever really there at all.
This episode began with a well-loved family copy of the book that has already passed through several hands and will someday be read to another generation—complete with memories, inscriptions, Cheeto-dusted fingerprints, and an original rock song tucked inside.
Note: This episode discusses the complete story, including its ending, as well as themes of death and grief.
