F***bois of Literature Book Podcast

TW: Rape, sexual assault, CSA, TERF politics, JK Rowling, Neil Gaiman, grooming, racism, domestic violenceI suppose the title says it all. My friend Danielle Ryan (@danirat on Bluesky) is back to have this weird and uncomfortable and emotional conversation about how parts of our souls are inextricably linked to art we loved... and what happens to our souls when it turns out the artists are absolute shitbags.You can get those Fuckbois of Art History and Fuckbois of Classical music episodes over on Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/fuckboisoflit

Get the full episode on Patreon: Patreon.com/fuckboisoflitBack for season seven, longtime friend-of-the-show Malavika Praseed (@MalavikaIsWriting over on Instagram) is here to talk not about her favorite book, but a book that ticks very few of her boxes– Antoine de Saint-Exupery's THE LITTLE PRINCE. We ask a nearly century-old question: who is this book actually for? 

Did we manage to talk for over an hour about one of the shortest books Americans were ever assigned in school? Yes, we did! I'm joined by Peter Huycke (https://bsky.app/profile/p1huycke.bsky.social) to discuss Jack London's CALL OF THE WILD, dog socialism, and the American need to be the lead dog.Listen to the full-length episode on Patreon! http://www.patreon.com/fuckboisoflitAt the end of the episode, Peter suggests reading SCARBOROUGH by Catherine Hernandez, and you can find the book on Bookshop.org: https://bookshop.org/p/books/scarborough-catherine-hernandez/9986609?ean=9781551526775&next=t
