Ep 160 - Robinson Crusoe, by Daniel Defoe (w/ Jake Hurwitz)

February 08, 2016  /  Andrew Cunningham

Special guest Jake Hurwitz (of Jake and Amir, If I Were You, and Headgum fame) joins us this week to talk about Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe, one of the very earliest examples of the modern novel.

Along the way, we discuss the ins and outs of being stuck on a desert island, the many ways in which this years-old story is pretty racist, and just how long the REAL title of the book is.
