Literary Binge - Love Song of J Alfred

About this episode

In this special episode of the Inconvenient Truths Podcast, host Kenny Xu switches gears from politics, identity, and culture to literature. Kenny dives into one of the poems that has shaped him and his life. That poem is The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock by T. S. Elliot. Kenny poses the poem as a reflection on self-agency, in a generation lacking agency. Kenny contends that there is use in fighting for a larger goal, even though that "sandcastle" might one day be knocked down. Don't miss a deep dive into this poem with reflection on many facets of modern life.
