What this episode covers

Famous especially for two grand novels, War and Peace and Anna Karenina, Leo Tolstoy is an author with which every serious reader must reckon. In their latest podcast, Barry and Aaron introduce you to this giant of Russian literature. What made his writing great? Why has he endured the test of time? What did he want his art to do? That last question may be the most interesting. Should a piece of literature mature your understanding or should it seek to fundamentally change who you are and how you live?
