578 Chapters (with Nicholas Dames) | My Last Book (with Hamid Dabashi)
The History of Literature - A podcast by Jacke Wilson / The Podglomerate
Nicholas Dames (The Chapter: A Segmented History from Antiquity to the Twenty-First Century) started his latest project with a seemingly simple question: Why do books have chapters? In this episode, as we turn from one year to the next, Jacke talks to an expert in segmentation. PLUS Hamid Dabashi (The Persian Prince: The Rise and Resurrection of an Imperial Archetype) stops by to discuss his choice for the last book he will ever read.
