This was supposed to be the episode we recorded together in India, but tragically, my microphone broke down in transit. Now I am saving up for a new one, and borrowing microphones off of other people in the meantime. (Woe.) Anyway, we’re here to talk about intimidating books (we have a taxonomy) and Kiran Desai’s book Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard. You can listen to the podcast in the embedded player below or download the file directly to take with you on the go.
Here are the contents of the podcast if you want to skip around:
1:09 – We are excited for Harper Lee’s new book!
5:03 – Books that intimidate us! You would not believe how complex our taxonomy is.
35:32 – A few small emendations to previous podcasts.
39:24 – We briefly review Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard, by Kiran Desai. We didn’t love it. We don’t have a ton to say about it.
47:12 – Our book for next time is Kanae Minato’s Confessions! Join us, comrades!
Get at me on Twitter, email the podcast, and friend me (Gin Jenny) and Whiskey Jenny on Goodreads. Or if you wish, you can find us on iTunes (and if you enjoy the podcast, give us a good rating! We appreciate it very very much).
