Shakespeare hated Jews?? In Part 2 of Jonah Platt’s fascinating conversation with acclaimed author Dara Horn, they dive deep into:
- 📚 The antisemitism embedded in classic literature — from Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice to Roald Dahl’s The Witches
- 📖 Dara’s entire body of fiction work and what inspires her stories
- 🍷 Her famously elaborate Passover Seders
- 🎉 A slew of other fun and thought-provoking Jewish questions
- 🐐 And of course… her new children’s book One Little Goat — out now!
This episode is a must-listen and watch for lovers of Jewish culture, literature, and tradition — and for anyone seeking deeper insights into how Judaism shows up in the stories we tell and the ones we inherit.
