Episode 1: House Taken Over by Julio Cortazar
We discuss Julio Cortazar's eerie short story 'House Taken Over'. Is Cortazar writing an apology to a displaced upper-middle class? Is this an allegory of outstaying one's welcome in one's own life? A tale of madness? A descent into hell? Or is this just a story about a brother and sister who decide to go for a midnight walk after hearing voices?
