<p>This week on The Literary Life, we bring you a gem from the archives. In this episode hosts Angelina Stanford, Thomas Banks, and Cindy Rollins discuss <a href= "https://maggiemcneill.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/how-much-land-does-a-man-need1.pdf?fbclid=IwAR15WtsBxj0cKxxEPJMBxyQD26AKrQWaHEJi_5gqtXEAqk3XFN3NBxyV1Ck">“How Much Land Does a Man Need?” by Leo Tolstoy</a>. To start off the discussion of this short story, Thomas gives us some background to help answer Angelina’s question about why this story seems so very different from other Tolstoy works.
