0:00 46:52

Dr. Jamie Bernthal-Hooker (he/they), visiting fellow at The University of Suffolk, joins us for a chat about queer theory, reading literature through a queer lens, and detective stories. “The two things I love most in the world are books and being queer.” —Dr. Jamie Bernthal-Hooker

Dialogue editing by Stephen Indrisano with some extra sound design by Tal Minear. The transcript was done by Rook Mogavero and the shownotes were done by Hannah Wright.

Transcript here.

Check out Jamie’s book, Queering Agatha Christie, and follow them on Twitter @jcbernthal.

People who write about queer theory, two of whom Jamie loves: Judith Butler, Michel Foucault, and Eve Kosofsky Sedgewick.

Recommended detective stories to read queerly: Agatha Christie, Edgar Allan Poe, Wilkie Collins (for when Jamie’s in a bad mood), Iris Maddoch (for when Jamie’s in an angsty mood), Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and Jamie’s favorite, Speedy Death by Gladys Mitchell.

Your homework assignment: look up Victorian magazines and read the short stories.
