Let's Read Something Gay Today Jay H. Ellis

Today's episode will be taking another look at Bram Stoker's Dracula, but this time from a different perspective of one of his artistic contemporaries: Oscar Wilde. I know, I know, it's a little early to start pumping out sequels, but trust me on this one.As mentioned, if you're at all interested, I highly recommend checking out the full paper on this that I referenced a lot when making this episode, called "A Wilde Desire Took Me: The Homoerotic History of Dracula" written by Talia Schaffer,...

In this episode, we'll examine the forefather of almost all modern vampires, Dracula, and its very, erm, 'reticent' author Bram Stoker! We'll take a look at possible influences to the book's eponymous monster, and compare him to Victorian England's idea of a gay man. Side-note: since recording, I have watched Renfield, and I was right, it was definitely entertaining - Nic Cage remains an icon!

In this episode we'll take a look at F. Scott Fitzgerald's most widely known book, The Great Gatsby! We'll examine that scamp, Nick Carraway and his relationship to Jay Gatsby, as well as some of the outside influences of Fitzgerald's own life on the novel.If you have any suggestions for future episodes you can get at us on Instagram or Twitter @lrsgtpod or email lrsgtpod@gmail.com
