Description

This podcast is a presentation of The Meow Library.

On December 7th, 2024, New York Times contributor David J. Morris published a controversial essay entitled "The Disappearance of Literary Men Should Worry Everyone." In today's podcast, our editor issues his rebuttal, bringing to light an unsung voice in the American literary sphere, one which transcends well-trod gender binaries and raises a more urgent question about interspecies cooperation in the world of contemporary letters.

This podcast is financed by our debut feline translation effort, ⁠Meow: A Novel ⁠
