The sad story of a man caught between duty, desire, and reality
Along with special guest Longinus, P&C review a winter warmer from Flying Dog, then discuss Edith Wharton’s Ethan Frome.
This is a depressing story of a man who is stuck. He’s stuck with a wife he doesn’t love. Stuck in a city he doesn’t particularly like. Stuck in a profession he didn’t choose.
When a spark comes into his life in the person of his wife’s cousin, Maddie, he starts to dream of a better future. But it doesn’t work out.
The story is set in a fictional, very cold town. Wear your wool socks when you read this one.
