Scott Fitzgerald’s novel, in which we discuss his best novelistic skills, including his ability to deal in subtext while also creating mood.

And so we come to the end of Alessandro Manzoni’s classic novel. In this episode we discuss whether the book’s ending (especially the resolution to Lucia and Renzo’s relationship) is satisfying, the way Manzoni deals with Lucia’s vow, and what the book ultimately seems to have been concerned with.

Close Reads is a book-club podcast for the incurable reader co-hosted by David Kern, Heidi White, Sean Johnson, and occasionally Tim McIntosh. We read good books and talk about them. This is a show for amateurs in the best sense. This is not an experts show: we’re book lovers, book enthusiasts. Our goal is have empathetic and intelligent conversations about good books. Close Reads is produced by Goldberry Studios, the podcast wing of Goldberry Books, a family-run indie bookshop in Concord, NC.

Welcome back to our ongoing series on Alessandro Manzoni’s classic Italian novel. This week we discuss Manzoni’s approach to presenting the historical context of the novel, and why he doesn’t present it as much through the doings of the characters.
