2.9 Zadie Smith and Haruki Murakami: Future Classics
Hello and welcome back to The Community Library! This week’s episode is continuing the theme from way back in December: Classics! In this episode, I analyse and compare Zadie Smith’s White Teeth and Haruki Murakami’s Norwegian Wood, and what makes both of them future classics.
2.7 "He's Not Bad at Writing": Thoughts on Shakespeare with Laurence
This week, keeping in theme with the idea of “classics”, my friend Laurence and I are talking all things Shakespeare.
