FROM THE VAULT: June Topic - The Sense of An Ending Movie

SURPRISE! We've released another BONUS EPISODE FROM THE VAULT!


This month, Stephanie and Hannah make good on a previous idea and review the movie adaptation of one of the books featured on the show. Together they watched the 2017 adaptation of Julian Barnes’ The Sense of an Ending, and then reconvened to answer the all-important question: Was the book really better than the movie?

  • 37. The Buried Giant by Kazuo Ishiguro

    01:04:56|
    This week, Hannah takes Stephanie back to their very first episode by assigning another Kazuo Ishiguro novel, The Buried Giant. Will Stephanie hate this one as much as she disliked Never Let Me Go? In post-Arthurian Britain, where a dragon sleeps guarded by Sir Gawain and a mist of forgetfulness covers the land, an elderly couple named Axl and Beatrice search for their son. As they encounter neighbors who can no longer remember the war that once pitted them against each other, the couple slowly starts to recover their memory and finds that their love will be tested. Join Hannah and Stephanie this week as they discuss fantasy, allegory, and literary fiction, and how these things do (or don’t, depending on who you ask) work together. Resources: https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2015/03/the-book-of-sorrow-and-forgetting/384968/ https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/03/23/the-uses-of-oblivion https://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/01/books/review/kazuo-ishiguros-the-buried-giant.html https://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/20/books/for-kazuo-ishiguro-the-buried-giant-is-a-departure.html Support this show by subscribing and leaving a review! You can support us on Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/hatethisbookpod Follow us on Twitter and Instagram Write to us at hatethisbookpod@gmail.com
