Did you know that a woman wrote the very first novel ever? (We didn’t!) In this week’s mini, we learn more about Murasaki Shikibu's master work “The Tale of Genji.” The novel’s blend of passion, intrigue, and psychological depth has earned this ancient Japanese work comparisons to modern sensations like "Sex in the City" and "50 Shades of Grey," while also drawing parallels to the literary genius of Proust.

In this episode:

Murasaki Shikibu: Japanese author of "The Tale of Genji”

Eleanor of Aquitane

Henry VIII

"Sex and the City"

"50 Shades of Grey"

Marcel Proust
