Klara and the Sun
The Bookening
03/31/21 • 48 min
In many ways, Klara and the Sun repeats all of Kazuo Ishiguro's favorite themes. But it differs in one crucial and very interesting way. Any guesses what that is? Nathan and Brandon discuss this in today's episode. And Jake stops by too!
(Forgive the tech issues, we're working to get back up to snuff.)

Episode 42: Newbery Awards and Good Kid Books
The Bookening
06/07/17 • 44 min
_Mr. Popper's Penguins. _
Call It Courage.
Maniac Mcgee.
_The Bridge to Taribithia. _
Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry.
What do these books have in common you ask? They're Newbery Medal winners of course, and in this episode our heroes use Newbery as a springboard into a discussion of the invention of kids lit and young adult fiction, and whether kids should be taught to read what they enjoy ... or enjoy what they read.
One thing is for sure. Everyone hates _Johnny Tremain. _
Next week we begin Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness.

Episode 56: My Antonia, Part 2
The Bookening
09/13/17 • 66 min
Sometimes a man sets out to write a good episode description for an episode of The Bookening about My Antonia and he just doesn't have it in him. Not that it's a bad episode or a bad book, mind you. But sometimes even the best podcast episodes about the best books don't really inspire one to write a good podcast blurb. Life is weird like that. Deal with it.
