Literary Guise: A Book Club for Modern Men

Announcing the line-up for Literary Guise: Season 3, returning March 6th. We also preview our new format. All our monthly novels will be tackled in one long-form episode on the 1st Monday of the month. The third Monday of the month we will reserve for dramatic readings/discussions of classic short stories, literary field trips, and general tom-foolery.

Previous Episode

Season 2 Recap

Just two guys, in that gray twilight between Christmas and New Year's Eve, sipping Seagrams Escapes in a mostly empty bar.. talking about all the books we've read this year with you, our loyal listeners. We also talk about a book so bad that it's gotten a mention in TWO seasons' worth of recaps.
Literary Guise will return in March with all new episodes!
And a new episode announcing our line-up (with more listener input than ever before) will be airing in the coming weeks, so stay tuned. We won't really be gone. We'll just be suffering through dry Janurary.

Next Episode

"Bright Lights, Big City" by Jay McInerney

Season 3* kicks off with full book episodes released on the first Monday of every month. First up, we return to the cocaine novels of the 1980s and one of the literary brat pack's brightest works. This novel has everything: Cocaine, Bolivian Marching Powder, Peruvian Pink (and also some really salient things to say about masculinity within the meat grinder of 1980s publishing.) You could watch the Michael J. Fox movie adaptation, but then you'd miss out on a rare novel told in the 2nd person POV.
*Our Season 3 format will feature new episode on the first and third Monday of the month, with longer, full novel discussions on the first followed by special readings, road trips, interviews, and general pop culture discussions on the third. As always, you can join the discussion on Instagram: @litguise
