The Casual Academic: A Literary Podcast
Aside #14 - Lit Hub, Environmental Humanities & an Intro Discussion on "The Handmaid's Tale"
On our new Aside, Zak Breckenridge is back on the show with us to talk about getting featured on LitHub, the emerging academic field of Environmental Humanities, and of course help us introduce our new featured book "The Handmaid's Tale" by Margaret Atwood. We mention some of the questions we'll be exploring on our full-length episode, and shamelessly gush about how much we love Atwood's 1985 novel. WARNING: we have purposely avoided all talk about the new Hulu series adaptation, and the show itself so please, no spoilers!
