Episode 18 Part 2: Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley
Manage episode 184026192 series 110278
Ladies and germs, it's a big one: join Lexi and Kelly as they discuss the life-changing feminist fantasy masterpiece that is Marion Zimmer Bradley's Mists of Avalon. From the origins of Lexi's "Lancelot Problem" to the threeway that ended Kelly's childhood, this retelling of the Arthurian legend from the women's perspectives set our hostesses on a wayward path to reading more seminal (in every sense) books. It made us angrier and smarter and pickier about art. But does it hold up to our current lofty standards and transcend revelations about the author herself? There's a lot to drink about. Part 2 of 2.
