We're Fascinated By Tragedy. On The Believability of Dystopias

from Books Undone

In this episode, I answer Britton's question of Why are we so fascinated by tragedy? by discussing readers' perceptions of utopia and dystopia/grimdark settings. This is a short-spoiler-lite episode, but I still include some quotes from books as well as my own thoughts.Join to my newsletter to get bite-sized bookish deep dives: https://liviajelliot.com/newsletter/web/TRANSCRIPT: https://liviajelliot.com/blog/2024/15-podcast-utopiavsdystopia/READ MY INTERACTIVE STORIES:On Android: https://bit.ly/unearthedstoriesOn iOS: https://apple.co/48IcnYm
