In this brief podcast excerpt, the speaker (Charlie Cox) recounts rereading the novel The Razor’s Edge together with his father. He describes how his dad retrieved his original copy from a bookshelf—a first‑edition purchased in the 1950s or 1960s that still bears a price tag of 39 pence. The two men read the book simultaneously, and the father decided to give his son his cherished copy, highlighting a moment of intergenerational bonding over literature.

Chapters

Did you ever tell your dad how good of a prescription this was? Oh, many times. And we both reread it this last month. We both reread it at the same time. And he, uh, he took down his copy from his bookshelf, and which is the original copy that he bought when he first read it in probably the '50s or '60s. And on the front is the price tag, and it says 39 pence. On the book. And actually, I spoke to him before I came on the podcast. I said, I'm coming on today. And we both just finished the book. And he said he was going to give me his copy. Oh, wow. Pretty cool.
