Pages Past – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Alyssa Esteban—artist, podcaster, and storyteller—is a student of the fantasy genre and the host of the Breakfast in Beauclair podcast, which examines The Witcher books, games, and Netflix show. Together we revisit a book that helped her fall in love with fantasy: The Two Princesses of Bamarre by Gail Carson Levine, which we read through the theme of identity. 

Pages Past is the podcast where we visit the library of memory. In each episode, host Genna Buck invites a guest to choose a book to read and discuss. It must be something that meant a lot to you in the far past—so long ago, that you were a different person the last time you read it. Through conversation and close reading, we will find new meanings in our old favourite books.

Content warnings: gang violence (not graphic), death (not discussed in detail), suicide (I said "commit suicide" rather than "die by suicide" in this episode, which I know not to do! I will work on that in the future)

Mike Schubert, creator of The Newest Olympian, Potterless, and many other podcasts, joins Genna to revisit the first book he ever loved: Holes by Louis Sachar, which we read together through the theme of justice.

This is a sneak peek of Pages Past, a new podcast coming in 2024. On each episode, host Genna Buck invites a guest to choose a book to read and discuss. It must be a book that meant a lot to you in your far past—so long ago, that you were a different person the last time you read it. Through conversation and close reading, we will find some new meanings in our old favourite books. 

This is a snippet of my conversation with Will Young, co-host of the Elwood City Limits podcast. He chose Pet Sematary by Stephen King.

Anne Thériault, author of the Queens of Infamy series and many other works, revisits one of the first books she picked out all by herself: Quest for a Maid (1988) by Frances M. Hendry, which we read through the theme of power. Topics discussed: Feminist readings of witchcraft and plucky heroines, wanting to say "See you never" to your family when you're a teen, and whether we care who the King of Scotland is (nope!). 

Anne is at work on a book expanding on her amazing piece about the radical mental health program inspired by St. Dymphna in Geel, Belgium.

We stood on the shoulders of many giants in this episode: Anna Carter Florence (Rehearsing Scripture), Hannah McGregor (A Sentimental Education), Jia Tolentino (Pure Heroines from Trick Mirror), and  Lindsey from Young Adult Historical Vault (the only summary of Quest for a Maid online).

Through conversation and close reading, we will find new meanings in our old favourite books. Audio production by the incredible Caleb Buys. 

As always, you DO NOT need to read the book to enjoy the episode!

Will Young—blogger, podcaster, and children's television scholar—revisits a formative and ever-so-slightly blasphemous book from his teen years: Pet Sematary by Stephen King, which we read through the theme of responsibility.
