Podcast Overview

Love & Its Discontents is a podcast on the topic of LOVE and LOVE STORIES. Starting with Jeffrey Eugenides's claim, in My Mistress Sparrow is Dead, “Love stories, nearly without exception, give love a bad name,” the podcast will take you on a journey through literature from antiquity to contemporary stories, wrestling with notions such as romantic love and altruism, deep diving into ecstatic love and solidarity. It asks, Can love be examined like an object? What on earth is love? Where in the world is love? Are we born to love, born with a natural sense of certain things like goodness, and beauty? Is love, like Rumi said, perfect thirst? But most importantly it will follow the question: can there be love without love stories? The host, Adnan Mahmutović is a Bosnian-Swedish writer and lecturer in English literature and creative writing at Stockholm University.
