Description
We may not act like the literary theory type, but tonight we're giving it our best go. We're discussing the endlessly interesting novel, "The Red and The Black," by Stendhal. A psychological novel rooted in the Bourbon Restoration, Stendhal gives us an intimate portrait of Julien Sorel and post Napoleonic France. We talk about the plot, characters, and our favorite sections but we also discuss the idea of "mimetic rivalry." An idea Matt read about in a book by Rene Girard, and an idea and concept that is very interesting to think about and discuss.
Hope you enjoy the episode, and please let us know your thoughts on the novel and our discussion.
