About this listen
Welcome to Episode 1.0 of the Living Literature podcast. After a brief introduction to your podcast host, I will describe how literature does indeed live. It's a story that begins in a high school classroom, then travels to law school, were I first encountered the Originalists and the Living Constitutionalists. Then Charles Dickens convinces me to return to teaching, where I figured out that the Originalists interpret the Constitution with all the moral imagination and intellectual rigor of the SAT. We end with a deep dive into the first paragraph of A Tale of Two Cities, where figuring out how it can be the best of times and the worst of times and the same time is the secret to keeping books alive.
