I give a brief introduction to Literary Modernism, Postmodernism and the overall themes of the podcast. I read Lydia Davis's Short Story "Break it Down." I do not own the rights to the story. I read from Berlant, Lauren and Edelman, Lee. Sex, or the Unbareable. Durahum: Duke University Press, 2014 in which Davis's story is reprinted.
Content Warning:
*********SPOILER ALERT********
Story contains allusions to a sexual encounter between a young man and woman. Prostitution is suggested.
