Description

"Somebody’s Trying To Kill Me and I think it’s my husband" by Joanna Russ is a brilliant bit of 50 year old scholarship about modern gothics, but I say it applies just as well to romance novels of today.In part one, I explore the theme of passive protagonists in adventure stories. Part 2, the personal is the problematic. In all parts: unpacking heteropatriarchy.Discussed:Adventure Stories with Passive Protagonists:https://shelflovepodcast.substack.com/p/adventure-stories-with-passive-protagonistsThe Personal is Problematic:https://shelflovepodcast.substack.com/p/the-personal-is-problematicShelf Love:NEW!
