Description
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 DickensClockwork 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)

Marlon and Jake Read Dead People Trailer: MARLON AND JAKE READ DEAD PEOPLE is a podcast hosted by the Man Booker Prize-winning and internationally bestselling author Marlon James and his editor, Jake Morrissey, Executive Editor at Riverhead Books. In each episode, Marlon and Jake talk about authors—specifically dead authors. Authors they like. Authors they hate. Great books, terrible books, and books they love that you’d never expect them to. As a writer and an editor, Marlon and Jake have read thousands of books between them, and they’re not shy in expressing their opinions about them. Sometimes they’ll agree, sometimes they won’t, but, in every episode, they’ll tell you what they think—uncensored and with no holds barred. (That’s why the authors have to be dead.) So listen along to hear about the spectacularly good, the hilariously bad, and the brutally honest. by Marlon and Jake Read Dead People
