The Eustace Diamonds by Anthony Trollope
We are joined on this episode by authors Jennifer Egan (A Visit from the Goon Squad) and Nell Stevens (Briefly, A Delicious Life), who last featured on Backlisted #170 discussing North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell. This time the talk turns on The Eustace Diamonds by Anthony Trollope, the third instalment of the Palliser sequence. We explore the ways in which this novel and Trollope\u2019s work in general confound expectation at every turn, a surprise perhaps when one considers the author\u2019s reputation as a spokesman for the establishment.\xa0\n* To purchase any of the books mentioned in this episode please visit our bookshop at\xa0uk.bookshop.org/shop/backlisted\xa0where all profits help to sustain this podcast and UK independent bookshops.\n*If you'd like to support the show, listen without adverts, receive the show early and with extra bonus fortnightly episodes, become a Patreon at\xa0www.patreon.com/backlisted\n* For information about everything mentioned in this episode visit\xa0backlisted.fm\n Hosted on Acast.
