Episode 159 - The Happiest Actual Life

About this Episode

It's really possible:

"the happiest actual life", I mean.
That was Booth Tarkington's phrase for the hope we could have
in real terms, even when circumstances went against us
and our intrinsic indelible nature went against us.
Case in point: his novel "Alice Adams" (1921).
Case in point: his character 'Alice Adams'.
I think the story is so real as to be Real.
