Donna Tartt's The Secret History turned 30 this year. Since the
book's release, the novel has sold millions of copies and become a
classic - the blueprint for a cluster of aesthetic and literary
works under the label "dark academia." Host Brittany Luse and
culture writer Alice Vincent examine the novel's long shelf life
and why it's still relevent to young people today. Then she sits
down with author Olivie Blake, who shares how authors are bringing
new perspectives to the genre.

Then, Brittany is joined by Avery Trufelman, host of the podcast
Articles of Interest. In her latest season, Trufelman explores the
classic look of ivy style, and its journey from the hallowed halls
of academic institutions to retail stores near you.
