1.1 The Neverending Story of Bad Decisions with Bonnie
Welcome to our very first episode! This week I sat down with Bonnie, former literature classmate and long-time friend, to discuss The Neverending Story by Michael Ende. We covered many topics: from what makes Atreyu such a great hero to why The Childlike Empress is not even a real person. We also talked about at length why Bastian is literally the WORST, and the importance of story-telling in our world.
In two weeks’ time, I will be discussing Pulp by Robin Talley with friend and literature-class-extraordinaire Maija! Please read along so you can join in on the discussion!
