Turning the Classics on Their Head

The classics never really go out of style. But that doesn't mean they can't use a little reinvention. 

This week on Book Lounge, we're diving into Classics, Reimagined: the art of taking familiar stories, beloved literary foundations and timeless characters and giving them an entirely new life. 

First, I'm joined by authors T. Kingfisher and Tee Harlowe to talk about the inspiration behind reimagining classic literature, finding new perspectives in familiar stories and figuring out how to honor an original while making something unmistakably your own. Then, I sit down with Lucy Foley for a quick conversation about the magic of revisiting the stories that have shaped our reading lives. 

Whether you're a classics devotee, a fan of modern retellings or someone who loves seeing an old story turned completely upside down, there's something here for you. 

Because sometimes the best stories are the ones we think we already know.
