THE BIG BALD BOOK CLUB EPISODE TWO – WUTHERING HEIGHTS

wuther wuther wuther

I was recently invited to join my hairless friend Martin Corrigan in a new video-podcast adventure, THE BIG BALD BOOK CLUB, which is produced by LAFS, the London Arts Facilitation Society.

The show is described as follows:

Welcome to the BIG BALD BOOK CLUB, where two bald comedians talk about books… with no hair and no nonsense. (There may be some nonsense.) Martin (who prefers more pictures than words) hasn’t really read a lot, while Scott Manley Hadley has read more books than they ever had hairs.

Join Martin and Scott in the BBBC as they read – and sometimes re-read – some of the greatest, some of the baldest and (when schedules demand) some of the shortest books ever written.

Episode 2 sees Martin hate and me love the complex, messy, masterpiece (imo) that is Emily Brontë’s only novel, Wuthering Heights. (My prose thoughts on it can be found here.)

Wuthering Heights: with Martin Corrigan an expert on “heights” (Martin is an astounding 5ft 17in) and scott manley hadley an expert on “wuthering” (history of poor mental health, boohoo), how will the BBBC fare with this mid 19th century tale of haunting and haunted love? Let’s just say that in this episode, there is no consensus…

I think/hope there will also be an audio only version for people, like me, who are millennial or older, but I’ll look into that. For now, please just close your eyes as you listen and let the light literary chat overwhelm you…
