I Who Have Never Known Men, Burden 2, Desire 07.09.2026 52:16
A look at the idea of desire as a function of the human psyche to urge us into a state of deeper belonging to the world around us. Using the concept of the primary imagination and some of the work of Northrop Frye, I try with varying levels of success to stick to Harpman's text and grasp some meaning in the narrator's continued, though stifled, drive to be a part of the world she knows.
The Burden of the Inexplicable in I Who Have Never Known Men, Episode 2, Vol. 1 "A Great Host" 07.07.2026 1:01:36
Using the mystery of Jaqueline Harpman's novel to think seriously about certain existential and psychological frameworks. Get ready for some Freud, Rilke, Becker, and Oliver. I read two Oliver poems. You can find both of them in Volume 1 of her Selected Poems .
Harpman and the Concept of Burden - An ill-advised preamble to the I Who have Never Known Men episodes 11.06.2026 15:30
Introducing the concept of a burden as the existential gift the universe gives a human for living up to (or below) their destiny. Setting up a creative and (too?) earnest interpretation of Jaqueline Harpman's I Who have Never Known Men. Ad-libbed explanation of how I got to this interpretive framework.
David Copperfield, "Reading as if for Life" | Ep. 1 of Vol. I, "A Great Host" 17.03.2026 51:28
An introduction to the show and a dive into Dickens' David Copperfield.
