Persuasion, Part 4, and Laphroaig Select (Michael and Ethan ALONE)
Description
Michael and Ethan, finally alone, finish the discussion of their Mondo Book for the year: Persuasion, by Jane Austen.
In this episode:
Finally alone except for a dog and cat
Persuasion Chapter 53
Persuasion is either Much Ado About Nothing or Parks and Rec or both
Our highest aim on this podcast is “possible legitimacy”
Jane Austen can’t have anybody naked, even in the 1990s
People have been really gross and done really gross stuff for a long time
Did Lee Harvey Oswald kill Kennedy using the butterfly effect?
Novel + satire + socialist(?) class critique = Jane Austen is a genius
Mrs Smith and Zombies
Community comes out through conversation
How much of community is persuasion?
We still need each other whether we like it or not
No community has ever flourished without the possibility of people you don’t like
Michael brag brag brags
