Ohio State University鈥檚 Project Narrative podcast has featured Professor of English Suzanne Keen on a recent episode. The monthly series spotlights a narrative theorist who selects a short passage to read and discuss with the host. Keen selected John Cheever鈥檚 1960 short story 鈥淭he Death of Justina,鈥� which follows a man who tries to bury his wife鈥檚 cousin after she dies on their sofa.
鈥淚 love this story,鈥� Keen said during the episode. 鈥淓very time I read it, I think 鈥楪od, it’s even more complicated than I thought it was the last time I read it.鈥欌��
