6.21 The Comfort of the End of the World
A couple of weeks ago, I accidentally read a post-apocalyptic book and watched a post-apocalyptic movie in the same week, and I decided I needed to talk about them. This episode is about La Jetée (1962), directed by Chris Marker, and I Who Have Never Known Men (1995), written by Jacqueline Harpman. I hope you enjoy.

6.20 Future and Freedom in the 1970s
Last year, I embarked on a challenge to read a book published in every single year of the 20th Century. When I catalogued all the books from the 20th Century I’d already read, I found the 1970s to be the decade from which I had read the least. In this episode, I take you through my journey of reading books published in 1970, 1973, 1974, 1976 and 1978.
For more links and resources, visit my website www.angourieslibrary.com
Books I read to complete the challenge:
1978: Tirra Lirra by the River by Jessica Anderson
1974: Oreo by Fran Ross
1973: Rubyfruit Jungle by Rita Mae Brown
1976: Woman on the Edge of Time by Marge Piercy
1970: Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret by Judy Blume

Customer Reviews
Thanks angourie!
I love your podcast and have picked up some wonderful books because of your reviews.
(Station eleven…I never would have found it if not for you and wow I can’t imagine my world without this story in it.)
I think you are just generally lovely too, thanks for sharing your bookish thoughts :)
Unique, captivating, fun, inspirational
This podcast has brought me so much happiness the past year. I adore Angourie’s passion for books and films - and just Angourie as a person. Listening to her podcast has inspired me to read more widely and think more critically. Thank you for this show and keep doing what you’re doing! ❤️
Very enjoyable!
Just watched the second podcast. I really like the style of tue podcast and the detailed explanations of the story and characters. Very clear and understandable to listen to whilst I’m doing work. A great duo too
