D.H. Lawrence's Women in Love

03/27/21 • 67 min

Kylie makes Dan read D.H. Lawrence's Women in Love (1920). Together, they discuss the novel's place in the Modernist canon, explore its depiction of a restrictive and generally doomed Britain in the wake of WWI and industrialization, and acknowledge that sometimes you really do have to karate chop a demonic rabbit.
