EP29. One Hit Wonder Narratives
Give it to me; ONE TIME! And then never again. That’s what we’re talking about today, those authors who crushed the assignment so completely that they simply could not touch that record again. We don’t want this to seem like a list of “one-trick ponies”—this is a celebration. Come and have a giggle at how poorly we misremember titles from beloved authors like Harper Lee and JD Salinger. See below for books mentioned!
