Welcome to the first episode of "Extra Literary Affairs", a LitFiction Podcast.
In this series, we will dive deeper into specific themes and topics that we can't fully explore in our main show. It’s a space for us to unleash our creativity and discuss our ideas in more detail. Think of this as a companion to our main podcast—just don't tell them about us, no need to make them jealous!
This week, Joey is exploring themes within the Library of Babel by Jorge Luis Borges. Put your space suit on, because we will be using astrophysics to explain the endlessness of the Library!
