We're prowling through the text of Jane Rice's prescient and darkly funny short story, "The Refugee." This oft-anthologized short story is sometimes billed as the tale of an ingenue outwitting sinister forces in war-torn France... but we think there's a little more to the story. 

As ALWAYS, you can find sources, notes, and a list of all our episodes at didntreaditpod.com! You can follow us on Twitter or Instagram @didntreadit. You can email us to say hey, suggest works you'd like us to cover, or apply to be our nemesis at [email protected]. 

Our closing music for this episode is "Balade du Soir," by Rêves Français. Grace really wanted to use "Le Chant des Partisans," but couldn't find a licensable version.
