F***bois of Literature Book Podcast
FBOL
• FBOL is now on Patreon! Subscribe: http://www.patreon.com/msemilyedwards • The podcast about the most groan-worthy, enraging, and sh*t characters in lit. Join host Emily Edwards and a guest for a weekly "book club" discussion on every book you wanted to destroy in English class, but couldn't. Classic literature of Europe and the Americas– everything from mythology to Victorian epics to the modernists– is hard to get through, and each week, we take on a frequently assigned book to talk about all of its highs and lows. These are the Fuckbois of Literature. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
