Dead Writers Podcast

Listen to a podcast hosted by two of our professors!

Dead Writers takes listeners inside famous American authors’ homes. Riffing on literature, history, home décor, gardens, and ghosts, literary critic Tess Chakkalakal and novelist Brock Clarke, bring great American writers, and the books they wrote, back from the dead.

Tess Chakkalakal is the creator, executive producer and host of Dead Writers. Brock Clarke is our co-host and writer.

Bowdoin's English Department offers courses that develop students' skills in analytical reading, writing, and thinking while deepening their capacity for empathic understanding and meaningful self-reflection.

At the core of the liberal arts, the study of literature illuminates the many ways of being human and of being alive in our world.
