In East of Eden, John Steinbeck explores the nature of good and evil, and the choices that define who we become. Set against the backdrop of the biblical story of Cain and Abel across generations, asking one powerful question: are we bound by our past, or do we have the freedom to choose our own path?   Painting: Today I painted a globe coming out of a book   Some of the books and authors discussed in this episode include:   East of Eden by John Steinbeck   Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRQzE_T2r6qPR_jbZNgZC1Q Substack: https://substack.com/@alexanderwoolven Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a-novel-review-podcast/id1681724908 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5uCgZyBj9T5uPQsfbqTUW5 Podbean: https://anovelreviewpodcast.podbean.com  IG: https://www.instagram.com/anovelreviewpod/   Email: anovelreviewpodcast@gmail.com

Miles Franklin’s first novel, My Brilliant Career captures the lack of agency young girls and women growing up in rural Australia would have felt towards the turn of the 20th century.

This week, Kenneth Cook's novel, Wake in Fright, explores the disturbing duality at the heart of the story and how the lack of judgment in The Yabba can make hell of heaven in a life of excess and indulgence - a dangerous freedom that strips away social constraints. For the locals, this is heaven; a life free from moral scrutiny, for John Grant it is a nightmare he spirals into until the thing he wants to escape is the fabric of a town he is now intimately part of.   Painting: Today I painted a beer   Some of the books and authors discussed in this episode include:   Wake in Fright by Kenneth Cook My Brilliant Career by Miles Franklin The Moustache by Emanuel Carrier   Additional segments throughout the podcast include:   Mantle Piece Moments What are you reading?
