  • Bonus Episode: The Pale King by David Foster Wallace
    2024/10/04

    In the newest installment of Kate's bonus episodes, she has turned away from her ordinary method of covering new voices in fiction written by women to talking about one of the authors she almost never stops mentioning on the main program. Yet she has chosen not to cover his primary work, but the less popular, technically unfinished novel that very few people read. Why does she do this? Listen to find out.

  • Bonus Episode: The Red Handler by Johan Harstad (translated by David Smith)
    2024/09/20

    In this week's bonus episode, Cody discusses the metafictional, post-noir detective novel The Red Handler—simultaneously a love letter to and hilarious deconstruction of the hardboiled stories of the 30's and 40's. It's a highly entertaining and brilliantly written novel that anyone who loves hardboiled/noir novels is sure to enjoy.

    We've finished another Pynchon book and convene once more to talk about Bleeding Edge; this time in its entirety. We're joined by Andrew, better known as Byron's Glowing Filament on Twitter and the creator of the Gravity's Rainbow Analysis substack (link below).

    We’re taking a (well-earned) break and will be back some time in November to start Against the Day.

    In the meantime, we’re going to be releasing some bonus episodes until our return, so stay tuned for those.
