#230: Literary Masterpieces That Actually Suck – Drunken Pen Writing Podcast
In today's episode, we discuss our current writing projects and how the social climate affects said projects. Such as, can white authors write a story that only has black characters?
After that, we briefly read the worst lines in fiction. Briefly, because the list we found was awful. Then we move on from awful to terrible as we discuss another list about famous novels and why they actually suck, according to the list maker anyway.
