Episode description

Hello everyone!

For our final 2023 Left Page episode, we are joined by Jay, of LibraryPunk and Tender Subject fame to talk about the "original dark academia text" Donna Tartt's The Secret History!

It's a wonderful send off of 2023 as we dive into what "dark academia" is and can be, the bad writing of novels, the characterization of terrible characters, and how rich people are always terrible!

Enjoy!

Jay's Good Dark Academia recs:

- If We Were Villains, M. L. Rio, 2017

- Vita Nostra, Marina & Sergey Dyachenko, 2018
