The Sea‘s Soft, Close Embrace (Kate Chopin‘s The Awakening)

Sans Friedrich, Karl and Søren perform a difficult duet on Kate Chopin's The Awakening. They talk about the book's literary impressionism, its place in American literature, race and class, labor and love, and the beguiling role of music in the book.

Theme music: "Shostakovich," by Mucca Pazza.
