Book Mumbles with Margaret: Recent Episodes
Margaret Vo
From Chaucer to E.L. James to King to Nabokov, there is value in reading far and wide. Join Margaret Vo (and her bad habit of mumbling!) in reflecting on all kinds of books and why we should think more critically about the literature we consume.
In this episode, I go unscripted to discuss my own journey with internalized misogyny, beginning with author Stephenie Meyer. Let women like things!
In this episode, I talk about the relationship between the Harry Potter series and its author, discuss "Death of the Author" vs authorial intent, and suggest ways to ethically consume pieces of art produced by problematic artists. Don't worry if you've never read or watched Harry Potter, I'll give you enough spoiler-free context to follow this discussion.
Welcome to Book Mumbles with Margaret! In this episode, I introduce myself and what my intentions are with this bookish podcast. Please enjoy!
