In this episode, we delve into 'The Bishop and the Butterfly Murder, Politics, and the End of the Jazz Age' by Michael Woolraich, exploring the intersection of crime, political corruption, and personal tragedy during the fall of Tammany Hall. We also analyze Isabel Wadner's 'Corrie Fah Does Social Mobility', drawing parallels between the protagonist's navigation of a complex literary world and the struggles faced by marginalized individuals in gaining social and financial capital. Both reviews offer insights into topics of social mobility, corruption, and systemic issues.
