101: The Hour of the Star by Clarice Lispector

Books of Some Substance

Welcome all and sundry to the first episode of Season 2: Control. 

Join us, David and Nathan, as we start this new season dancing to the beautifully strange rhythms of Clarice Lispector's The Hour of the Star.

In between quoting and praising this novella, we discuss narrative techniques, metaphysical implications, symbolic deaths, co-existing interpretations, and a fall from grace. 

Listen in, tag us online to discuss the book, and call in to share your thoughts: (331) BOSS-BOT / (331) 267-7268.

Nothing lasts, but a good book lasts longer.
