A Deep Dive into Possibly the Best Book Ever Written? 👀
Few novels inspire obsession like The Secret History and this time, we went all in.
After a close reread, we break down the characters, key moments, and the deeper themes that make this book so enduring from elitism and morality to its chilling sense of complicity.
We explore the novel’s classical and philosophical influences, unpack different interpretations, and ask the big question… why are we still so obsessed?
Whether you’ve read it five times or not at all, this episode will change the way you see it.
