are we fated to hate this one too? - circe by madeline miller

before monsters learned their names, before heroes thought themselves immortal, there was a voice learning to speak. it's time for herstory, not history as we turn to Circe by Madeline Miller - a retelling and reimaging of Circe, the witch of The Odyssey - a story that promises to be absorbing, luminous and spellbinding – a feminist novel, ripe for the #metoo generation. we talk all about Greek mythology, our newly uncovered adoration for Madeline Miller, our previous podcast episode on the highs and lows (but mainly lows) of The Song of Achilles and ask ourselves the question, can the works of Madeline Miller be redeemed by Circe or are we fated to eternal literary woe?  send us your voice messages here <3choose our next podcast read by going here and voting in the first week of each month!make sure you subscribe to hear our groundbreaking thoughts as soon as they are unleashed. if you want to be on the same page as us, follow us at talklit.gethit on Instagram and TikTok.theme music born from the creative genius of Big Boi B.join talk lit, get hit podcast for deep dives into the hottest BookTok recommendations, trending contemporary fiction, and literary favourites! each episode features book discussions, spoiler-filled chats, and thoughtful literary analysis of novels everyone is talking about - from viral romance and fantasy to modern classics. whether you’re looking for BookTok book reviews, author interviews, or a virtual book club experience, out podcast is your go-to space for readers who love stories and want to explore them in depth.talk lit, get hit are reading and recording on Giabal, Jagera, Jarowair & Turrbal lands. we acknowledge the cultural diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and pay respect to Elders past, present and future. always was, always will be.
