Episode notes

"I have a lot of reverence for that era in American history so I'm a sucker for cracked bells yeah," says author. "It's all some sort of weird like bastardized Greek column design sort of like the original French name of this book was just Notre Dame de Paris." Quasimodo has an affinity for the bells and gargoyles, he adds.

We're dipping back in the Victor Hugo well this week with his other best-known book The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Did you know that the book and the Disney movie don't end the same way?

Also on tap: road trips, games of tag, revisiting the poverty question from last week, and talking about Hugo's views on architecture vs. the printing press.
