Our very first venture into science-fiction-adjacent literature on the pod! In our discussion about Jacqueline Harpman's 1995 novel, we revel in a book that rejects many of the fundamental elements that make up the construct of a book in the first place. Chapters? Hard pass. Traditional plot structure? No. Characters? Barely!
We also make sure to carefully articulate all the ways in which human life is pointless and absurd! But also why that's perfectly okay and not at all nihilistic even though it seems like it should be! Join us.
