The Les Misérables Reading Companion

The Podcast about Victor Hugo's Les Misérables. In each episode, I will comment on a section of the book, to make it a bit less daunting, and hopefully help you enjoy it a bit more. I am a professor, but this podcast is created with a non-academic, non-expert, non-French-speaking audience in mind--that is, anyone who'd like to dive into this classic! Views expressed in this podcast are solely those of its creator, who does not speak on behalf of any other person or entity.
