In Episode 4, we dive into the interwar years in Britain — a period marked by disillusionment, experimentation, and the search for meaning after the chaos of World War I. This episode explores how writers used twins, doubles, and opposites to grapple with fractured identities, shifting social norms, and the surreal nature of modern life.We begin with the sharp wit of P.G. Wodehouse, where twin-like characters and mistaken identities bring levity to a world in flux. Then we step into the cleverly plotted mysteries of Agatha Christie, where doubles and hidden selves often hold the key to solving the crime. H.G. Wells offers a darker vision, using science fiction to explore the split between human progress and primal instinct. Finally, we wade into the dreamlike language of James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake, where twinship becomes a fluid, symbolic force in a text where nothing is fixed — not even identity itself.Join me as we navigate a literary landscape where opposites collide, boundaries blur, and twins offer a mirror to a world caught between the past and the future.Music Credit: from tunetank 'Memory' by Musicstockproduction
