  • This episode was recorded on December 8, 2021.

    Professor Gary Saul Morson is a renowned Russian Literature professor who has been teaching at Northwestern University for 35 years. He teaches what is arguably the most famous class at NU: Introduction to Russian Literature 210-2.

    In this podcast, we discuss why Russian Literature, namely Tolstoy's Anna Karenina and Dostoevsky's Brothers Karamazov are the greatest works of literature ever written. We also discuss how important the Bible is in Western civilization and the implications of spiritual enlightenment.

    I had just finished my final for Prof. Morson's class when I interviewed him, so ideas were very fresh in my mind.
