F***bois of Literature Book Podcast

Emily Edwards

•FBOL is now on Patreon! Subscribe: http://www.patreon.com/fuckboisoflit•The podcast about the most groan-worthy, enraging, and sh*t characters in lit. Join host Emily Edwards and a guest for a weekly "book club" discussion on every book you wanted to destroy in English class, but couldn't. Classic literature of Europe and the Americas– everything from mythology to Victorian epics to the modernists– is hard to get through, and each week, we take on a frequently assigned book to talk about all of its highs and lows. These are the Fuckbois of Literature.

Carly Lane (@CarlyLane) is here to discuss the juggernaut that is BRIDGERTON, regency, and romance. We hypothesize about why English majors like romance so much, the rapidity of time, and why there are so many sub-grenres to Romance novels.

Happy Holidays, Attic Wives. We're back from an extended hiatus to bring you some Christmas lit that's sure to leave you... well, not really merry, but certainly happy it's no longer 1840.


Vel, our guest from our episode on DIE HARD, PYGMALION, and CALL ME BY YOUR NAME is back to discuss Hans Christian Andersen's "Little Match Girl," which is a holiday classic that leaves one feeling unmoored, heartbroken, and desperately sad.


You can follow Vel on social media at @WhiskeyAndSpite (Twitter, Instagram).

Jen Sincero's 2013 hit hinges on the simple idea that if you aren't currently getting something that you want, it's because you're just... not asking.


If that's not enough to make you choke, well guess until you learn about how easy she thinks it is to ask for everything from cars to jobs to college acceptance!

I am not above telling you that I suffered through our last three books. They were awful, and they made me sad, not in the way that TESS OF THE D'URBERVILLES made me sad, but sad for real life people. But this book doesn't. Not one bit.

Lynne Childress's podcast, FINE BEATS AND CHEESES, is also a wonderful time, so please do go listen to it. They're incredible.

Hi, everyone!


Unfortunately, circumstances are way outside my control and this is the last episode of FBOL. I want to thank you all endlessly for being such an amazing community and audience. I had some fantastic books on the schedule, but because all of my equipment is toast and I don't know where I'll be living, when, and for how long, recording new episodes is off the table.


The person who finds me with the best Attic Wife joke gets my enduring love.


Please send some support to Cayce Osborne, who is an absolute gem and fantastic writer:
