As My Wimsey Takes Me

Arts


In which Charis and Sharon take a detour through a Sayers' short story that features a different detective than our eponymous Wimsey: Mr. Montague Egg, traveling salesman representing Messrs. Plummet and Rose. We follow Monty as he notices something amiss about a potential customer he is visiting in 'The Professor's Manuscript.' We also talk about the underlying class anxiety that the story betrays, as well as the personality traits Monty shares with Lord Peter. And we take some winding detours through theology, anti-capitalism, and more!Our next episode will return us to the shores of Wilvercombe and HAVE HIS CARCASE.For shownotes and the episode transcript, please visit asmywimseytakesme.com.
