معلومات عن هذه الحلقة
“Every book leaves a mark. This is where we talk about it.”
In this episode of Offbeat Journeys, I discuss the books written to make us laugh. That laughter sometimes really is the best medicine and other times, it can lead to potentially embarrassing situations, 30,000 feet in the air. In this episode, I talk about:
· The book shaped by a character with massive amounts of self-importance and delusion
· The one that portrays a sophisticated, soon-to-be father succumbing to the most ridiculous situations
· And the book that almost led to an embarrassing situation for me on a flight home from Zurich
If you’ve ever felt understood by a book… if you love stories that linger… or if you’re curious about how writers are shaped by the books they read — you’re in the right place.
