I have just discovered your podcast and enjoyed your conversation about Roth very much. I read mostly non fiction in my life and came late to literature. Are there podcasts or books you’d recommend to the novice literature reader?
I have enjoyed the work of Howard Norman. Have you read his work?
Lol, I feel like that’s what I’ve been doing in these episodes for the past five years! Hopefully the literature recommendations have helped along the way…
