Before Yorgos Lanthimos & Emma Stone’s adaptation, Alasdair Gray wrote a post-modern take on Frankenstein in a structure-breaking, convention-flaunting novel—but should you read it? In episode 301, join Luke Elliott & James Bailey as they make the case, weigh the pros & cons of presenting the narrative in layers, ask if McCandless and Godwin Baxter are redeemable, and consider the implications of Bella Baxter (AKA Victoria McCandless) writing a final letter that puts everything into question. Join them next week when they compare book vs. film!
