Listen "Episode 38 - Parable of the Sower"
Episode Synopsis
Two friends and academics recap classic literature and take it off its pedestal. In out thirty-eighth episode, we recap our first apocalyptic novel, Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower (1994). In this episode, Daniel redefines male fashion (monocles, Keith-core) and Abby traces real-world allegories, and both of them end the text shaking and traumatised under one of those tinfoil blankets.Cover art © Catherine Wu.Episode theme: Stickfigure, 'Spaghetti Western'.
