2025/04/08

This month (a little late) we finish up our brief series on Kipling's Just-So Stories. Good news: We've got a lot more to say about the back half of the book, including detours into C.S. Lewis's Experiment in Criticism and Jacques Derrida's Dissemination. Bad news: a lot of what we have to say is about "How the Alphabet Was Made," a little-loved story. Stay tuned until the end to hear what our next series will be on!
