Episode 154: Stuart Little
/
Stuart Little
Published in 1945, Stuart Little was E.B. White’s first book for children and has been beloved among young readers for the better part of a decade… but revisiting it with adult eyes in 2021 is a pretty bizarre experience! On Episode 154, Alli and her guest break that experience down, discussing all of the lovely moments AND the weird ones. Tune in to hear conversations about beautiful writing, publishing behind the scenes, unlikable characters, egomaniacs, bad date behavior, funny cats, and toxic mouse-culinity.
