Ep 79: Romance in Fiction & Life

from Midday Movies · host Laura Fones and Stephen Frothingham

Today we’re discussing romantic fiction and reality — inspired by Laura’s week-long battle with Elif Batuman’s novel “The Idiot.” A Pulitzer Prize finalist book about youth and first love, Stephen and Laura are inspired to chat about love interests in literature (shoutout to “Conversations with Friends” by Sally Rooney), and how love works in real life. Assessing romantic “types” and their accompanying “gimmicks,” we’re getting real about romance. Let’s get into it!
