The Summer Book: Second Half
from Close Reads Podcast Hosted by David Kern, Sean Johnson, and Heidi White
Join us as we dig into the second half of Tove Jansson’s delightful novel, The Summer Book. We discussed whether this is a fundamentally feminine book, the fascinating (and moving) absence of the father throughout, the complex presentation of the grandmother as a character, Jansson’s masterful ending, and much, much more.
