Chapter 25: The First Wedding with Michael Leali
Manage episode 356282049 series 3340720
If the Dovecote's a-rockin', don't come a-knockin'! This week, Meg and John Brooke tie the knot, and we bust out the Victorian floral analysis to tell you exactly what her bouquet really means. We also get into Laurie's longing, Jo's spinsterhood, and the presence of a ghost among the celebrants.
Joining us for the festivities is Michael Leali, the author of The Civil War of Amos Abernathy. We open the episode by chatting about Amos, the tale of a twelve-year-old boy who's falling in love and learning queer history from his post as a Civil War re-enactor. Did we mention most of the book is narrated via letters to Albert Cashier? Tailor-made for the Jo's Boys crowd.
Our cover art is by Mattie Lubchansky. It interpolates the cover art for Bethany C. Morrow's book "So Many Beginnings: A Little Women Remix," with permission from Macmillan Children's Publishing Group. It also interpolates the cover art for Hena Khan’s book “More to the Story,” with permission from Simon & Schuster. Our theme music is Mozart's Piano Sonata No. 16 in C Major. This episode was edited by Antoinette Smith and transcribed by Lou Balikos.
A transcript of this episode is available here.
