So Wake Me Up When It's All Over: Kate Chopin's The Awakening and Sleeping Beauty as an Irresponsible Parent 

In podcast numero dos, George and Eliot take a break from the hubbub of the holidays to discuss Kate Chopin's The Awakening. This beautiful, devastating account of one woman's dissatisfaction with domestic life-- and the extreme measures she takes to escape it-- echoes in classic children's stories, contemporary television series, and the hearts of our critics. Give it a listen when you need a breather from returning presents, eating leftovers, and fighting with your families. Happy New Year!
