the unspooling podcast - The Awakening by Kate Chopin, pt. 2 (chapters XXI-XXX)

Alright, dear listener…

This week, we resume our reading of The Awakening by Kate Chopin. (Thankfully, with a shorter episode than last time—more on that in the intro.)

The tension escalates dramatically on all fronts during this portion of the narrative—and just when you think that things can’t get any messier, Chopin says, “Hold my beer,” and rolls up her sleeves. Seriously, this novel is a phenomenal reading experience!

I hope you are as intrigued by Edna Pontellier’s fate as I am, dear listener. The Awakening is truly a story worth unspooling...

Of course, you’ll want to listen to the following episode, if you haven’t already, to catch up with the story:
