Did you just stop at digging up her body? How crippling is your love?

In this episode, San Francisco State University Literature Professor Summer Star joins Nick and David for a rousingly dark conversation on Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights.

Is Heathcliff a critique of mid-19th century British class structure, a rotten bastard, or simply one who loves and revenges harder than any made for TV adaptation can handle?    Like the cosmos, Wuthering Hearts is vast. And inside us all.
