    These Darn Comrades are Taking Our "Animal Farm" by George Orwell

    Animal Farm was written by George Orwell and published in August of 1945. This allegorical tale depicts the rebellion of farm animals against their human farmer, Mr. Jones. In this episode, Hannah and Jon discuss the history of George Orwell, the allegory of the story, as well as the overall plot of the first five chapters. Will Hannah ever stop singing? Probably not, but she may have finally learned a thing or two about history. At least history pertaining to the hit song "Rasputin" or amazing movie Anastasia. Jon replaces the word "like" with "very" and let's just say, it's a very good change, which we like a lot. Jon once again references other novels whilst reading this one. Will it ever end? No, but you love it. P.S. Hannah loves the number 17. If someone notices this, buy me a coffee for $17 and we'll cover a story you want. Hannah and Jon do know how to properly format a novel title. RSS won't let us. We apologize for their missteps. AnaLITical is created, hosted, and produced by Hannah and Jon Newland. Edited by Jon Newland.

    We Make Good "Speech Sounds" by Octavia Butler (with Paige and Jennifer from Big Book Energy)

    "Speech Sounds" by Octavia Butler was published in 1983 in Isaac Asimov's "Science Fiction Magazine." A pandemic (oof) has swept the world, killing many and leaving the rest in shambles. The story follows Rye, a woman traveling to find her remaining family members. Instead, she finds Obsidian and begins a brief relationship with him. In this episode with Paige and Jennifer from Big Book Energy, Hannah and Jon discuss communication in the story, dystopias, and the prelude from Isaac Asimov. Warning: This episode has mentions of sexual assault. Hannah and Jon have a blast with the gals (again!) from Big Book Energy for Jennifer's pick. We discuss Asimov's history of abuse and how that factored into his prelude. How Octavia Butler was a BAMF and may have even called out men directly in the story. Jennifer brings up symbols, and you know by now that Hannah and Jon are ALL about those symbols.

    Happy Thoughts and "Tragic Life Stories" by Steve Duffy (with Paige and Jennifer from Big Book Energy)

    "Tragic Life Stories" by Steve Duffy was featured in Year's Best Dark Fantasy and Horror of 2011. The story follows Dan, an author who has lost everything - his wife and his book deal. Dan meets Molly shortly after this news and begins writing a new novel, Say Uncle, featuring a character called X. As the story continues, X becomes real to Dan, or so it seems. In this episode, with Paige and Jennifer from Big Book Energy, Hannah and Jon discuss the misery-lit genre, the use of comparison, and the strange ending of the story. Hannah and Jon have a blast with the gals from Big Book Energy. They bring up other sad stories that may feature in the misery-lit genre, including Hank Green's works and My Sister's Keeper. They talk over that atrocious ending to Game of Thrones and ponder if George RR Martin will ever finish that series.
