Fiction reviews for the lit-curious reader
Welcome to Extra Literary Affairs, a haven for literary enthusiasts who prefer their book club discussions rather than academia.
We’re not scholary, we’re “scholar-ish”
Each episode unfolds like a fireside chat, where prose is savored, tropes are playfully dissected, and storytelling magic is celebrated in all its forms. No ivory tower here—just thoughtful, engaging, and occasionally irreverent conversations for those who believe reading should be as delightful as it is discerning.

Next week, Extra Literary Affairs will be discussing “A Rose for Emily” by William Faulkner.
Light as a feather, stiff as a board.
When Miss Emily Grierson died, our whole town went to her funeral: the men through a sort of respectful affection for a fallen monument, the women mostly out of curiosity to see the inside of her house, which no one save an old man-servant–a combined gardener and cook–had seen in at least ten years.
Faulkner, William. A Rose for Emily. 30 Apr. 1930.
