After some technical difficulties and life events intervening in our recording schedule, the Jennys are back at last! We celebrate some bookish news, discuss fictional morality and how it differs from regular life morality, and review Patrick DeWitt’s book The Sisters Brothers.
Books discussed in this podcast are listed, in order, below.
Washington Post on the news of Ta-Nehisi Coates’s run on Black Panther
Barbarian Days: A Surfing Life, William Finnegan
You can no longer listen to the Hamilton cast recording on NPR First Listen, but you should still seek it out. Here’s an article about it.
Prep, Curtis Sittenfeld (AGAIN)
The Phantom of the Opera, Gaston Leroux
Les Miserables, Victor Hugo
Harry Potter, JK Rowling (if you had 22:09, you win the pool!)
Sunshine, Robin McKinley
This is the cat trope Whiskey Jenny mentions. Enjoy the rabbit hole that is TVTropes.org.
Love Walked In, Marisa de Los Santos
Angel (the TV show; major 3rd season spoilers!)
Rebecca, Daphne du Maurier
The Secret History, Donna Tartt
The Sisters Brothers, Patrick DeWitt
