Episode 20: Cracking Through the Scrub with THE YEARLING
Manage episode 360491942 series 2903754
In Great American Novel Podcast Episode 20, your fearless (or is it feckless) hosts find themselves in the damp swamps and thick scrublands of north central Florida in the post-Reconstruction era as we struggle to survive with the settlers of the brush country in Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings' Pulitzer Prize winning 1938 novel, The Yearling. We discuss how this Maryland native came to work with the editor of Hemingway, Fitzgerald, and Thomas Wolfe, and how she came to love the Florida brush country she wrote about.
As always, these discussions are operating according to the rules of literary criticism, or as Melville might have put it, there be spoilers here.
The Great American Novel podcast is an ongoing discussion about the novels we hold up as significant achievements in our American literary culture. Additionally, we sometimes suggest novels who should break into the sometimes problematical canon and at other times we’ll suggest books which can be dropped from such lofty consideration. Your hosts are Kirk Curnutt and Scott Yarbrough, professors with little time and less sense who nonetheless enjoy a good book banter. All opinions are their own and do not reflect the points of view of their employers, publishers, relatives, pets, or accountants.
All show music is by Lobo Loco. The intro song is “Old Ralley”; and the outro is “Inspector Invisible.” For more information visit: https://locolobomusic.com/. The theme to "Rawhide" was written by Ned Washington and Dimitri Tiomkin, 1958, performed by Frankie Laine. Trailer for The Yearling, 1946, dir. Clarence Brown, produced by Sidney Franklin, released by MGM.
