Episode description as stored

Marlon & Jake are back to discuss the narrators they love but can't trust. From the delusional to the uninformed, the sociopathic to the sympathetic, they explore the characters that charm as much as they trick, begging the question: is there such a thing as a reliable narrator? So tune in to hear if Jake has warmed to Great Expectations (spoiler alert: he hasn’t) and so much more! Select titles mentioned in this episode: Great Expectations by Charles Dickens Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey The Good Soldier by Ford Madox Ford The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allen Poe Tristram Shandy by Laurence Stern Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson "Charles" by Shirley Jackson (in The Lottery and Other Stories collection)
