Today\u2019s episode of The Literary Life podcast picks up our series on Murder Must Advertise by Dorothy L. Sayers with a discussion of chapters 12-16. After sharing their commonplace quotes, Angelina and Thomas begin by talking about whether Sayers is \u201ctoo accomplished\u201d to be writing detective stories and the decline and resurgence of the genre. Angelina makes more connections between the medieval romance and Murder Must Advertise, as well as the images that parallel Alice\u2019s Adventures in Wonderland scenes and the purpose they serve. They also talk about the many masks of Lord Peter, the \u201chellish hunt\u201d, the ad world and the drug world, and so much more.
