Notes from Underground Part 1 [Ep. 34]

Explicit

What's that noise I hear? Has someone crept into my basement and started playing the hit literary podcast The Satire Fire from their portable speaker? Oh how thoughtful! This week we are starting the ambitious challenge of discussing Fyodor Dostoevsky's Notes from Underground, the novel equivalent of a diss track! In this part we will be discussing the plot of the book, getting you caught up if it has been a while since you read it or if you aren't familiar with it at all. Then next week we will be back to break down the context behind this particular beef, talking about all the context you need to know to appreciate this 19th Century classic. Is this narrator relatable? Is he merely the world's first incel? Is he an empath? Tune in to find out all this and more!
