Episode 56: Fathers in Literature

We're a bit late here as far as the calendar goes, but the subject of fathers and fatherhood will never get stale. We had intended to publish this episode to align with Father's Day, but... June got away from us a little bit. That said, Jude and John talk about some of their most notable father figures in literature, and recommend books that explore the mystery, challenge and promise (broken or unbroken) of paternity in one way or another. As always, we also discuss books we've been reading lately and tease the upcoming episode 57 of the podcast, in which a prominent classic American novel will be discovered, at least by your humble hosts, for the first time.
