Land Epics and Great Transformations

from Liberating Libraries Hosted by Conspiracy of Equality

We've been excited about this one for a while! An episode looking at two epic tales of dispossession, transformation, and the development of contemporary capitalism. Putting together John Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath and Abdelrahman Munif's Cities of Salt, we're talking about fiction that explores economic transformations and the upheavals of resource extraction, with a focus on relationships to land and the emergence of workers' struggles.

Fairly recently I came to a realisation - that the stories people were telling about how they imagined their dream space and what books they would surround themselves with - said something fairly profound about who they imagined themselves to be. They were weaving their memories with their aspirations and telling me a story about who they thought they were. In A Room of Your Own, I’ll be inviting guests to explore the books and the spaces that they’ve loved. I’ll help them to construct their own dream library, and act as architect, designer and curator, inviting you to listen in on our rambling consultation on books, life and memories. Explicit
