Gerald raised an interesting question about whether or not the author’s politics and worldview are embedded in a text that is ostensibly not political (in so much as anything can be apolitical). Anais does her best to find political meaning.Have thoughts on this story?Did we miss a crucial piece of this story? Tell us below!

Explicit Absolutely Nothing & All It Doesn’t Mean Mackenzie Draney Hi, I’m Mackenzie Draney, and in this podcast I’ll be exploring some philosophical implications of literary works assigned as readings in HON-317V, my current honors class at NMSU. Part 1 episodes will begin with a brief retelling of the text, and then explore my own thoughts about what can be gathered from it. I will pose questions, discuss things I’m unclear about, and try to pick out themes and other literary devices. Part 2 episodes will be recorded after discussion of the text on Tuesday classes.

Any of my questions or uncertainties from Part 1 episodes will, with luck, be answered or cleared up in Part 2 episodes.
