Podcast 009.1: Edward Prime-Stevenson

The Writer Who Reads

In this episode, we explore the little-known yet masterfully crafted work of author Edward Prime-Stevenson—a man who faced persecution with bravado and used his talent to strip away social stigmas.

We analyze one of his novels as part of our “Morality” theme, and dig into compelling subjects like the historical/contemporary implications of gayness, unconventional romance and the importance of self-expression.

Please join us as we try to read a little more, write a little better, and explore the human condition—together.
