Episode Synopsis
Two friends and academics recap classic literature and take it off its pedestal.This season, we are only looking at banned and controversial texts. In our sixty-sixth episode, we examine Khaled Hosseini's 2003 redemption-and-brotherhood melodrama, The Kite Runner. In this episode, Daniel feels seen, gives a shout out to his friends in the Taliban, and tells us what he'd do if ever gifted a copy of Hitler's biography. Abby, meanwhile, becomes the angriest she's been since the Pamela episode.Cover art © Catherine Wu.Ustad_Gada_Mohammad_-_RababaEpisode Theme: Ustad Gada Mohammad, 'Rababa'. Hosted on Acast.
