S3E73 We've reached the fifth Marlowe adventure, The Little Sister. Tune in to hear about what critics call Chandler's "Hollywood novel", and what the author himself called "a gaudy piece of sarcasm masquerading as a mystery". We discuss Chandler's comedy, his cantankerous mood at the time of writing and his brushes with film legends like Billy Wilder and Alfred Hitchcock.

S3E69 It's back to Book 1 of Ovid's Metamorphoses as Ash tells the story of a wrathful Jove, destroying mankind with a great flood. But what does Ovid's flood have in common with the flood found in the Book of Genesis? Is this genocide or editing? And what is left, once the waters have settled?  If you enjoy my work and would like to support Ear Read This, you can do so here: https://ko-fi.com/earreadthis Merchandise!  https://ear-read-this.creator-spring.com/   Title Music: 'Not Drunk' by The Joy Drops.

S3E68 Today, I'm analysing Sylvia Plath's poem Full Fathom Five, written in 1958 and eventually collected in her book The Colossus. Taking its title from Shakespeare's The Tempest, Full Fathom Five is full of classic Plath imagery: the seldom-surfacing sea-god muse, the lost father and the seascape of her childhood.  If you enjoy my work and would like to support Ear Read This, you can do so here: https://ko-fi.com/earreadthis Merchandise!  https://ear-read-this.creator-spring.com/   Title Music: 'Not Drunk' by The Joy Drops.
