  • Summary

  • Some books are more than a simple story. They hide timeless themes and allegories full of meaning that are always worth discussing—but doing so requires dedication and keen eye for details. Join Australia-based author Livia J. Elliot as she deep-dives into the themework present on different pieces of speculative fiction to find what lays beyond the plot, decipher their invisible meaning, and reflect on their symbolism. If you are a fan of fantasy or sci-fi books, new or old, traditional or self-published, this is the show for you!

    Be mindful. Books Undone contains spoilers for the books discussed, which vary in each episode.

    Guests Talk 8: V for Vendetta
    Nov 5 2024

    Today, we're discussing one of the most famous graphic novels out there--V for Vendetta. Not for the faint of heart, and one piece that remains as timeless as 1984. My guests today are Varsha (from Reading by the Rainy Mountain), Jarrod (from The Fantasy Thinker), and Britton (aka SomeOkieDude).
