• Xiran Jay Zhao, Author of “Iron Widow” has an amazing Channel chock full of things you never knew you needed to learn—but you do. / @xiranjayzhao
• If you’ve never read Anne Brontë, please take a listen to CraftLit’s “The Tenant of Wildfell Hall” (starts with episode 516—https://bit.ly/craftlit-tenant). She’s the most shocking, most modern, and arguably the best of the Brontë writers. You likely missed her b/c Charlotte didn’t like this book’s ‘sensibilities’ and did what she could to ghost it after Anne’s death. Bad Charlotte!
*The phrase’s meaning is that a bomb-maker is blown (“hoist”, the past tense of “hoise”) off the ground by his own bomb (“petard”), and indicates an ironic reversal or poetic justice. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoist_with_his_own_petard&v=99b19YrdPOw]
