In Episode 4 Gen and Jette talk about their favourite authors. We each pick our three favourite authors to talk about, and if you know Gen, you know this was a difficult decision! Featuring John Steinbeck, Stephen King, Donna Tartt, Dennis Lehane, Maggie Stiefvater, and Chuck Klosterman, the girls talk writing styles and common themes. To get you started, we also suggest a starting point into each of our favourite authors’ work.
Show Notes
Snow White came out in 1938 – not 1939.
Adam’s brother in East of Eden is called Charles.
The film The Drop is an adaptation of a story called “Animal Rescue” by Dennis Lehane.
Shout out to DavidsTea for fuelling this episode. Next time Jette will try to clink her mug less.
Jette gets really excited about Boston. This won’t be the last time.
*Disclaimer* Gen was still on Copenhagen time and Jette had been up since 4am during this recording, so the English language wasn’t flowing too well LOL
