War and Peace, by Leo Tolstoy, and Creag Isle 12yo, Part 4
Michael and Ethan conclude their discussion of this year’s extra-mondo mondo book, Leo Tolstoy’s War and Peace.
In this episode:
Ethan is surprise-attacked about his love of Natasha
Conventions of marriage, or, everyone loves Natasha (not just Ethan)
Romanticism! The zeitgeist of the 19th century! Other topics the hosts are somewhat unqualified to discuss!
People are shocked, SHOCKED to find that there is humor in this novel
Mysteries, sacraments, sacraments, and mysteries
The annual mondo book, forever and ever amen
Deep, deep, deep apologies to any speakers of French
