Survive the epic world of Panem, the setting of The Hunger Games, as Geek History Lesson unfolds the complex narrative history behind Suzanne Collins’ YA dystopian franchise! In this arena of an episode episode, we dissect the classical structure shared in each Hunger Games Dune novel, explore Collins’ Greco-Roman mythological inspiration, debate which characters deserve solo stories next, and discuss the socio-political themes that shaped a generation of Young Adult fiction. With Sunrise on the Reaping in stores now, delve with us into the saga’s multi-media evolution, offering an exploration for seasoned fans and newcomers alike!
