2. The Penelopiad / Circe / The Lonesome Bodybuilder.
Emily found Margaret Atwood’s The Penelopiad to
be a missed opportunity, especially when compared to Madeline Miller’s
Circe, while Michael was delighted by Yukiko
Motoya’s unsettling and strange short stories in The Lonesome
Bodybuilder. They talk about the characters on the
margins of great stories, what book to bring to the hospital, adaptating the
classics, and what to do with novellas. Emily’s new baby (hooray!) makes a
brief cameo.
