EP32. Dystopian Narratives
Hello, again! We’re fresh off of George’s wedding, finally back to weekly posting, first off with our episode on Dystopian Narratives! A dystopia is…well, we probably don’t need to describe it to our listeners in the US, but there’s a rich vein of books and stories written in dystopian society settings, whether you think of Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games, Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale, or Octavia Butler’s Parable of the Sower, we’re sure everyone has enjoyed a narrative like this in their time. Chune in, we hope you enjoy! See below for a list of the books mentioned.
