About this episode
Show Notes:
This week, Matt and Cameron kick off the Summer of Anna Karenina with Part 1 of Count Tolstoy’s famous novel! Join us as we delve into a tale of “the beauty of light and shadow,” as Matt absolutely does not want you to describe it, and explore one of the most intriguing characters ever put to the page. Oh, and Konstantin Levin is there, too. Sit back, find a partner for the Mazurka, and tune in!
Major themes: Adultery, Definitions of Evil, Special Smiles.
44:45 - Spoiler: it doesn’t.
