Say what you will, but it is now, and always will be, the position of this podcast that Wuthering Heights is the horniest novel of the C19. youtube.com/watch?v=ID0rqEWr…

it's so wild how the haunting of hill house is such a famous acclaimed horror novel but nobody tells you that it's about LESBIANS. i read it for the first time and i was like oh my god eleanor vance is A Lesbian. i wonder, do most readers know this? do they know she's a lesbian?

We’re still here and planning new eps. We’ve just been busy with work/organizing (the means of production won’t seize themselves). In the meantime, here’s proof of life —Tristan repping his favorite animal. (photo credit @CacactaCarta)

There are certainly other factors at play, but heavy use of c-sections allows for a larger brain, as brain size has historically been limited by birth canal diameter

We're talking linguistic philosophy, the category of the human, and more. We highly recommend lots and lots of Delaney's work, including his novel Nova and his 1999 critical work/memoir, Times Square Red, Times Square Blue on New York’s porn theaters of the 1960s and 70s.

Next on the pod, we'll have Edith Wharton's The House of Mirth, with George Lamming's In the Castle of My Skin following. And we'll be wrapping up this weirdly extended season in the tradition of Better Melville than Dead -- The Confidence-Man.

I kind of feel like the people who read every book as 'horny' should never read a book by Samuel Delaney. I can't wait.

No new ep today, folks, but next Sunday we'll have Samuel Delaney's fantastic Babel-17 for you. It's recorded, just need to finish editing it!

Happy Halloween 2023, comrades! We have maybe the most batshit novel of the British gothic on offer for you -- Mathew Lewis's The Monk. Satan turns into a dinosaur at the end. A hot wizard named Matilda dommes the devil himself. Join us for a wild ride! podcasters.spotify.com/pod/s…

As ever with the gothic, we're talking sex, desire, critiques of patriarchy, and how 18th-century Britons were incapable of being even slightly chill and normal about Catholics.

For more on Lewis and his place in the genre, we highly recommend friend of the pod Michael Gamer's Romanticism and the Gothic as well as Angela Wright's chapter on Lewis and Radcliffe in the Cambridge History of the Gothic, Vol. I.
