Welcome to the first episode of season three where we are diving into the controversial Canadian classic, Bear by Marian Engel. There are DEFINITE content warnings for this one.
Bear is touted as a second wave feminist novel, but has it been done successfully? We follow Lou who is sent to an island home to catalogue the books within, whilst there she has sexual relations with a bear, yes, a bear.
We look into bestiality and why it's illegal, second wave feminism, bear deaths and why this book was written at all.
This is one not to be missed!

Bunny: Dangerous Cuteness (S03E03 Researchers)

Welcome to the third episode of Season Three, where we dive into Mona Awad's novel, Bunny! If you haven't already, be sure to check out my collaboration with the Talk Lit, Get Hit podcast, where we delve into the fascinating world of the author herself.

Bunny is a gripping critique of academia that takes readers on a wild ride. We follow Samantha, our protagonist, as she navigates a highly exclusive writing program at University. Along the way, she encounters a clique that crafts Drafts of men and manipulates them to their liking.

In this episode, we explore themes of subverted cuteness, the CIA's intriguing connection to writing programs, and draw parallels to The Craft and Heathers. We also touch on radical feminism and its role in the narrative.

Don't miss out on this captivating discussion!
