Engaging with Literature: A Conversation with Clare Yeo (@ClassicallyClare)

They explore the impact of social media on literature, the importance of intentional content creation, and the challenges of engaging with complex texts. Clare shares insights on the role of fiction in understanding humanity, the influence of celebrity on literature, and the complexities of separating art from the artist. The discussion also touches on the significance of reading in today's society and the nuances of moral judgments in literature.
